David Eger is a teacher of photography and non-traditional visual arts. For years, Eger, an avid "Star Wars" fan, had contemplated doing a 365 project, but had not gotten around to it. "Cloned Photos" is a mini-series that was born from his 365 Days of Clones project.

It all began with a photo project he assigned his students during the Christmas holidays in 2010. On the last day of Christmas break, which happened to be Jan. 1, 2011, Eger took a photo of couple of Clone Troopers with an iPod, titling it "And it Begins…" Every day for the rest of the year, Eger created, edited and posted a new photograph online of his clone troopers.

54/365 | Troopers Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima

This day's photo pays homage to a photo taken by Joe Rosenthal, titled Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. The original photograph was taken on February 23, 1945.

Over the course of his year-long project, Eger became most interested in the photos that had links to a specific date or historical event. This desire to relate his daily posting to what day it was became a mini-series he called "Cloned Photos." His first photo was a recreation of Joe Rosenthal's famous Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. Like many of his iconic recreations, Troopers Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima was created, photographed, edited and posted on the anniversary of the original photograph.
