Just got this through the Makezine RSS feed...

I wouldn't be eggsaggerating if I said that these are the most eggstraordinary pictures I have seen.  I'm not yolking. they are increggible. Eggsactly the sort of photographegg art that I like.

Silliness aside, they are quite amazing. It's a shame he didn't make his own albumen emulsion for the inside. that would have finished the concept nicely.  Or maybe it would over-egg the pudding?

Now, where's that old ostrich egg I had hanging about? - time for some large format eggsperimentation.

oddly or maybe not so oddly,
I purchased a paper mache' egg made in Germany over the holiday to drill a hole in.

But now that I have it at home,I can't bear to drill it out.

Ingenious!  Even if I had come up with the idea, I don't think I'd have ever gone through with it.  I suppose that's what separates those who do from those who don't. 

I really should follow though on at least one of my hair-brained ideas.
