"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.
