Two images using eggs as props. One representing a fragile earth, the other illustrating the cycle of life!
The Blue / green hand was lit by a softbox covered with a blue gel and a light behind with a green gel. The background lit with a bare bulb flash covered with an orange gel.
The hand / egg on the ground was a double exposure – one with and one without the hand / egg.

Madryn Street
Madryn Street is situated in the Welsh Streets area of Toxteth in Liverpool, close to Priincess Drive / Sefton Park and is one of the streets where Ringo Starr lived as a child.
The area is due for redevelopment and the time of taking this image, there were very few inhabitants left – most homes were vacated!
