  1. A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

       “Conversation is a minefield until you learn the conventions, Jane dear.”
       “I’ll never learn all the rules,” muttered Jane.
       “Yes, you will,” said Phryne. “Then you can bend them.”

    Kerry Greenwood (b. 1954) Australian author and lawyer
    Phryne Fisher No. 13, The Castlemaine Murders, ch. 4 (2003)

  5. Ah, Aeon Essays strikes again with a piece that’s 3,100 words long but can be summarized as "Love, not rules, because... reasons." 💤 Apparently, Iris Murdoch’s #philosophy is all about ignoring our massive egos, but who has time for that when there are so many rules to break? 🍿

  7. Never just “stay in your lane”

    One rule that should be broken regularly is “stay in your lane”. Don’t do that. It’s boring, and nothing changes. Get out of your lane once in a while and try something different.

  8. Lens-Artists Challenge #347: Break The Rules!

    Due to the inclement weather that has been plaguing Portugal for what seems like forever, I wasn’t able to take part in last week’s ‘Cinematic’ Challenge. (Not yet, that is. I will submit an entry once we get to the location that I had in mind.) This week, though, I was determined to take part, no matter what. It’s Ritva’s turn to host the Challenge, and her theme is ‘Breaking The Rules‘. Well, how could I possibly resist that? ‘We work so hard to learn the photography rules,’ says Ritva, ‘but now it is time to BREAK them!!’ Then Ritva raises a salient point, ‘The problem is, that in order to break a rule, you must know that there is a rule in the first place!’

    And that’s actually what stymied me. I’ve been making photographs for a long time. Perfectly exposed (mostly), well focused, and (most of the time, I hope) nicely composed, that I’ve never really thought about the rules of photography that I was taught back in the day. It’s only in the past few years, with my renewed interest in film photography, that I’ve consciously tried to make something out of the ordinary with both film and digital media: Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), light leaks, redscaling film, that sort of thing. But even then, I still kind of follow the rules.

    Looking at these ICM images, for example. Even though the subject is blurred, I’ve still unconsciously tried to place the boundary between the grass and the trees about one-third up from the bottom of the frame. Dammit! So my idea this week was to take a ‘walk around the block’ and make some ICM images using a Canon PowerShot G12 digital camera fitted with an Urth ND64 (6-stop) neutral density filter.

    I’m not really sure if these are ‘rule breakers’, because I’m not really sure what the rules are any more. But I hope that you will like them. Themes for the Lens-Artists Challenge are posted each Saturday at 12:00 noon EST (which is 4pm, GMT) and anyone who wants to take part can post their images during the week. If you want to know more about the Challenge, details can be found here, and entries can be found on the WordPress reader using the tag ‘Lens-Artists’.

  9. Ursprünglich aus Pen-&-Paper-Rollenspielen wie Dungeons & Dragons stammend, kann das Konzept "Rule of Cool" heute auch Designer inspirieren.

    Von gewagten Logos bis zu unkonventionellen Layouts - ein Blick darauf, wann kreative Regelbrüche zu ikonischem Design führen können.

  11. Breaking Rules That Were Already Broken
    Hey gang. It’s been a bit, but life has been… crazy. However, I’m rounding the bend on a number of projects and have breathing room again.

    I did manage to find about an hour each week to watch the final season of Picard—by far the best season—and a quote from Captain Shaw in the final episode really struck me.
