I am doing a presentation on photography and creativity next week and this image came to mind because it was one where I was just driving around Saguaro National Monument and I could see it in my minds eye. “If I just had a really iconic shot of a Saguaro” I thought “I could give it a posterized false color look that would be really cool.” Well it turned out I had already taken the photo so it was just a matter of doing some post processing. I can’t even tell you exactly how I got here though I think it had something to do with Nik software and solarization. But this is how I define inspiration. When an idea just comes to you from out of nowhere and you make it a reality.
