Here is my latest Project 52 photo; the assignment was "Product Shot with a Twist," and we were to use eggs and any other product of our choosing. I decided to have a look through ye ol' flickr for shots of eggs because I couldn't really think of what the heck to do. I came across this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7147708@N04/2344012347/ and fell in love with the colors and the way the photographer lit it. I spent a lot of time contemplating how I could pull the elements of that photo out into something new without blatantly ripping it off. Took a break to help out my youngest son with his homework, and one of his books to read was set in the middle ages, which tripped off the "hey, paint used to be made using eggs...."
