When I lived in Portland I got to shoot the Cloud City Troopers a few times... ( Sorry if I ever posted these before! )

And I printed this one out at work hyoooooge, ( 24 by 36 or something close I think. ) then the troopers and I signed it and once they had it all framed to give to Zahn after we all had dinner one night and I was like, "Hey, maybe that picture isn't so bad."

A few of those guys are friends of mine from my time in the 501st Legion. Nice pics!
I could swear those Imperials are in Powell's! So very cool.
And Chryse--you were 501st? That's like having Star Wars royalty in the guild...
My trooper is gonna look like the orange one on the left.

I like it.
I grew up wanting to be a a stromtrooper, but I have to admit that clone armor is so much cooler.
Althouh the snowtrooper might be better. Hmmm...
Nice Vilis!
I was wondering when these would pop up again now that they are so topical. Look like fun shoots eh? I bet the passers-by at the park downtown where the top two shots were taken also stopped to take a gander at the high quality costumes.
And nice call on Powell's Mixxi! Your Portland Lore skill just went up! (95).

That's awfully kind of you, Mixxi, though I am retired now. :)
If you look at my avatar, that's me in my clone trooper armor.

What a terrific bookstore. I envy you Portland-ites. Only been to the store once, in the company of Talethia, Elsbet, Wystro, and Tuppen. How's THAT for mixing universes. ;D
And Chryse, I've been a 501st fan for years. You guys totally rock.
Lucky, lucky Vilis to get to do things like this.
