Cuckoo in the Kitchen

So I finally got around to finishing my daughter's challenge--to add my own captions to Anne Taintor-style 50s housewife images. I did it and added a challenge from me to myself-- get free sounds online, choose a sound effect appropriate to the video, and add it to the movie. DONE! Yay!

Gods Gone Wild

"Gods Gone Wild" is my latest effort, inspired by the work of Anne Taintor. My daughter challenged me to re-do Taintor's images, adding my own original captions. But my process went the opposite way. As I looked through Taintor's site, my mind started bringing up the images of gods and goddesses that I had seen in Indian calendars in response to some of the captions on Taintor, and only then did "original images+captions" happen. Funny how creativity works. As Steven Johnson says, ideas are not like light bulbs turning on; they are more like balls on a pool table, colliding and bouncing off each other. They are born from association and collaboration.
