“It may be hard for an egg
to turn into a bird:

it would be a jolly sight harder
for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.

We are like eggs at present.

And you cannot go on indefinitely
being just an ordinary, decent egg.

We must be hatched or go bad.”


C.S. Lewis

A good skills exercise to photograph eggs. It's actually harder than you'd think. Or at least that's what I've found (having failed to do it well). PS, Charles Dodson of course. Cherax · 2008-02-24: 05:51
