What do you get when you combine talent with passion ?

Someone like Michel Verpoorten, a Belgian graphic designer and founder of the informative and entertaining French-language Star Wars collectibles and news site, Mintinbox.net. You also get a Star Wars fan who has used his amazing skills with a camera to capture the evocative images you see in his simply titled “conventions book.”

-SAMPLE -SAMPLE - SAMPLE -SAMPLE Michel has traveled the globe in the last five years attending

Star Wars fan conventions and taking photos of celebrities

and others who have had the opportunity to work or play in George Lucas’ ever-expanding galaxy. Some of his hundreds of pictures are here to capture moments in time, a tribute to a worldwide phenomenon more than three decades old but seemingly ageless and multi-generational. I consider myself very fortunate to have been one of Michel’s subjects.

We fans like to say “Star Wars is Forever !” And so are the photographs in this book. Enjoy !

Back in 1977, I could not escape the Star Wars phenomenon any more than other kids of my generation. At the time I collected toys, and that passion has survived all these years.

In 2003, when I created Mintinbox.net with some good contacts I had made on the Internet, I did not have the slightest idea where my passion for the Star Wars universe would take me. My contacts soon became true friends, and we've had the opportunity to travel all over the world and share comprehensive information about our collecting hobby. We also produced extensive reports directly from large conventions and smaller events, covering the worldwide collectibles scene.

-SAMPLE -SAMPLE - SAMPLE -SAMPLE As a professional graphic designer and photographer, I could not

pass up the opportunity to meet and take photos of Star Wars actors and others linked to the ever-expanding universe. This new hobby of mine started in 2005, and since then I have taken hundreds of photographs. Now it is time to share some of them. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.
