Sometimes as I write, the rules get in the way and I struggle whether to use the rule at that time or not. I need to grow in my writing skills and in my letting go of them. Photography is an area I have only played with since a kid and don't know too many rules to break, though I have taken a course once. I simply shoot what catches my eye and/or imagination. This is an area I would like to learn and grown in more if/as time allows. Spirituality.... Jesus is a great role model for me here. He broke rules. Yet, he did so in love for others and for a greater cause than the rules themselves. I don't always follow that well, but I try to recognize that if I believe strongly enough in something to break a rule, then I'm in decent company. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the opportunity to reflect!<br />debraDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642021073815697172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291485436649858330.post-15651586243025444272013-07-02T06:39:11.502-07:002013-07-02T06:39:11.502-07:00I re-discovered the work of Freeman Patterson this...I re-discovered the work of Freeman Patterson this past week and in his wonderful book "Photography and the Art of Seeing" he talks about breaking the rules in his chapter "Thinking Sideways". We all benefit from this approach from time to time.Patricia Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805777892399781031noreply@blogger.com
