Gods at Work and Play Print
Like the "Look in on Life" poster, this picture of the December 26, 2004 tsunami, was created in 2005 with less capable tools than are available today. The camera was a 5-megapixel Olympus and the software was an earlier Corel Photo-Paint. Still, some of the effects that were possible (like the color accents, the ocean waves, painting with stars, etc.) were quite exciting, at least for this amateur.
As to the theme of the picture, whatever
your religious beliefs or non-beliefs, it could be imagined
that the tragedy was simply another day for the "gods" that
determine our collective fate. Like the cliche about the banality
of evil, there is no profundity here. Poseidon or Neptune or
whatever "god of the sea", had some "need" to stir up a little wave
action. The "witches" that feed on the psychic carnage zoomed in,
Oz-like, from the east and west. And the souls of the recently
departed quickly found their way to the mind of that compassionate
other "god" whose job it was to re-direct, re-build, re-create and
so on.
For the living, a tragedy of
unbelievable proportions. For the "gods", just part of the daily
grind, so to speak.
