For the past year, LA-based photographer Mark Laita has been hiking around the U.S. and Central America, photographing some of the world’s deadliest snakes for a project entitled ‘Serpentine’, of which he says:
The sensual attractiveness of snakes, which coexists with their threatening, unpredictable and mysterious nature is truly unique. This dichotomy, in which their beauty seems to be heightened by their danger, and vice-versa, is what I find so fascinating. Add to these contradictions the rich symbolism of serpents and you have a wonderfully compelling subject.

A Rorschach-style promo poster and (most impressive) video for Star Wars Identities, a travelling interactive museum exhibition premiering at the Montreal Science Centre on April 19, 2012 with costumes, models and artwork from the films.
“Visitors will develop a better understanding of what makes the characters of Star Wars who they are, and at the same time explore their own identity with one question, at once simple and profound: What forces shape you?”
If you happen to be in Montreal, you can buy tickets here.
