Everybody is on their phone. Thousands of people everyday wear out their thumbs scrolling through photos, deciding which ones to post on Instagram. It’s so easy to do whether you’re a photographer or not; just point, shoot, choose a filter and post whatever you created.

Star Wars Scenes Recreated With LEGOS
I don't know if there is a resurgence in the popularity of LEGOS or if its just a rediscovery of a childhood toy, but they've been comig up a lot lately. Last week I posted about a website dedicated to iconic album covers pixelated with LEGOS and now it looks like someone else has created their own art composed of the popular toy. Vesa Lehtimaki has taken LEGOS and recreated several scenes from the movie Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and it's pretty impressive. You can see by the photos that these scenes took time and that the artist paid great attention to each of the fine details. Check out some the scenes he recreated and for more of this artists work visit his web site here.
