Use The Force

An interesting series of photos from Chris McVeigh’s “Let’s Be Friends.”

McVeigh uses almonds to gain the trust of the chipmunks that live in his backyard. Then he photographs them playing with Star Wars action figures.

Not sure it gets much better than this.

Disclaimer: No animals or action figures were hurt in filming. And no, these aren’t photoshopped photos.

These look ‘shopped. I can tell from the pixels in the chipmunks, plus I’ve seen my fais share of ‘shops.

Chooo chweet!! I loved the one with chewbakka offering him the almond!! And also the last one with the little people fighting it off!! The squirrel for one wasn’t impressed. The timing of the shot ( with the squirrel’s mouth open) is amazing.
