New York-based photographer Rä di Martino has just completed work on a project photographing the rarely seen original Tatooine sets from Star Wars. The photographs, taken in Tunisia, are fantastic and provide a great view of the wear and decay that have taken place after 35 years of abandonment. There are a few images, however, where so little wear seems to have happened that you almost expect to see a bantha or stormtrooper walk across the frame.

The most amazing part of this story is how di Martino located the sets. She utilized Google Earth satellite photos to locate the precise location, something that until now was only really known by locals. These amazing photos have been collected into a couple of photographic collections (in which she has also included photos of other Star Wars sets) entitled, “No More Stars” and “Every World’s a Stage”.

The Coffinmaker from Dan McComb on Vimeo.

We've featured Dan McComb's work before. He is awesome, and that's all we need to say about that. This mini-doc on the Vashon Island Coffin Company is really interesting to watch and gorgeously shot.
