Jan 14: Theatre of eggs

Heaven only knows what this is all about... When I'm stuck for ideas, I sometimes look at last years PotD for inspiration, and sometimes to 2003... Jan 14 2004 featured an Alabama hat kindly given to me by Jill, Hmmm, well, I could photograph the hat again... or my Lucky hat... Try 2003. PotD 14th Jan 2003 was a single egg balanced on a candlestick holder. See it here. Eggs do seem to be a subject I keep coming back to. Then, I remembered that Gail Davison had done her own version of my 'Dec 7: 3 eggs' shot yesterday. But with more eggs than I had. You see how all this is coming together? So, here's a dozen eggs, three candlestick holders and a kinda gothic theatrical feel.

BTW - those who were waiting to see my hand painted Olympus from yesterday, it's here. Enjoy!

I think eggs are one of the most popular PaD ideas, did you start it?? :)
Guest 14-Jan-2005 22:57
LOL You realize you're starting another "imitation-fest" right? Seriously, though, this is really well done!!

Those little creatures in your back garden must be working oVertime. Does this mean that wine glasses are no longer de rigeur?

Wow.. how every elegant these eggs are with the drape of burgandy crushed velvet.. lovely, sir David.. simply lovely

I think we should get some sort of commendation from the British poultry farmers because egg sales in the UK must be going through the roof.

Great shot, David.
