Photos in elevation didn't work, literally breaking the egg flat didn't work, but a simple pen and paper trace did. For a new project, I'm mapping the cracks of one dozen eggs, and creating a single linear "graph" of these events. You'd think it'd be simple, but things that are spherical, elliptical, endless, infinite, don't want to flat lines, anymore than they want to be broken. These are some photo studies I did, just some observations on the quality of the line that makes up an egg-crack. Much more to come...

guggenheim material. youstopit.
oh my, there are so many questions with how to document properly with this idea. However, I do know that the final lines will be cobalt blue on cream-colored paper, and hopefully wrap a room. But first One Dozen.
maybe you do several dozen and they're all captured in super-different ways...
MMmmm to the dark, dark photos of the eggs. It's like a mournful elegy.
PS cobalt+cream, yes please. with sprinkles, too.
despite the mapping dilemma, the photos are perfect for beandom! especially love the horizon of the first pic on the second row. gorgeous!
p.s. I got an email from the conference people...deadline has been extended to January 1st so we'll find out probably sometime in Feb.
Oh shit, way to tell us now. We could use more time. Let's just submit again. Couldn't hurt. Bah. No really.
