Which came first: The chicken or the printer?

Chinese Egg

I don’t know what this says. Eggs, with Chinese characters? I’m unsure about my feelings on this. Conflicted, perhaps.

Hats off to the people that invented a device capable to printing on eggs. Maybe it’s for Easter, a holiday not even celebrated.

This was shot with one flash and a reflector. After nosing around The Strobist I’m really eager to start working with two flashes, off-camera.  My plan to pay for it all? I have a lot of change. No, really, a lot. Like 30 pounds of it. That should cover the expense, and give me some more shelf space.

edit: I now know what this says, after consulting with my colleagues.  Sheng Di Le (a company name) Enviromental Egg. That oculd mean free-range, or something extremely sinister in Chinglish.

    I think it looks like Angelina Jolie’s last tattoo… The real question is how did you end up cooking it…

    Ron: I wouldn’t be surprised if Angelina Jolie was a Sheng Di Le product. I believe the egg was boiled (hard) and eaten while still warm.

    That technology could catch on here, with Easter so close.

    If it’s organic or free range, doesn’t the printing kind of defeat the whole idea?

    Shawn: You would think, wouldn’t you. I guess if you’re organic in China you have to advertise anyway you can.

    yb: Ron is a comedian that thinks he’s a photographer. His levity is always welcome.
