We hear much about mathematical "Rules of Composition", a friend quoted this from the painter Ivon Hitchens.
A photo I took on November 2, 2006 near my office at VCU (on lunch break). The club that preceded Strange Matter seemed a bit off. These are their rules. I was unaware Nazis were still a thing.

I know you're not supposed to put the subject in the center of the photo, but sometimes that kid is the center of my world.
One of the myriad posters of rules and regulations at Postern Hill campsite in Malborough which drove me completely nuts - everywhere you looked there was an inane reminder of the obvious, endless do this and not that and banal tips on living a green lifestyle - they even had a code entry system for the loos! - we managed a night and then left to find the basic Church Farm site in the nearby village of Mildenhall - a delight!

For our 2nd night, Scott Monty (@ScottMonty) and Ford collaborated with CC Chapman (@CC_Chapman) founder of Digital Dads and Ann Handley (@) Chief Content Officer for MarketingProfs and left an intriguing book called Content Rules in everyone's room. Given I'm a content kinda guy, I could not agree more with CC on this one that Content does in fact Rule. This is the gift that can keep on giving whenever you need content ideas and guidance. #ContentRules
BR Standard Class 7, No. 70000, 4-6-2 'Britannia', pulls out of Minehead station with the 13.00 train on Sunday 25th March 2012. One of a series of photographs taken with a Pentax ME Super using an SMC Pentax-M 80-200mm f4.5 lens and Fujicolor C200 film.
"I have a code that I live by."
I have a code that I live by. [1] It's the result of observation, listening and making mistakes. Mistakes have consequences, so I make a mental note and move on. Unexplained, my rules might appear obscure, stupid even. The stories and reasoning behind them aren't.
#6 Got COM?
I hadn't seen Bill for years. I ran into him again coming up the ramp of a train station one morning. We organised to have a drink after work at a Pub in the city. Ordered a few drinks and got to talking work until it was time to leave. Then he asked,
"Got COM?", "Got COM?,"
then more insistantly,
HAVE YOU "Got COM?"
I looked at him thinking, "Starship Troopers?" [2] He smiled and explained it this way. It doesn't matter where you are, always have your Coms ready. It had been drilled into Bill to always be contactable, be it in the field at work or the Pub.
#7 The 7P's
The polite version is straight out of IBM corporate America. I heard Greg use this when I was doing post-grad studies in the early 90's. But I'd heard a better, distinctly local version years prior in Kilcunda.
Kilcunda is old coal mining country. I was with a group mapping significant land marks. More inches of rain fell than the two days we'd been there, but I wasn't worried. I'd packed my rain gear.
Coming back after a long cold day in the rain and mud, Andy looked at me spit polishing my GP's. Took another looked at the lace-up and said, "that's not how you do it." "Don't cross the laces, zip one up the middle to the top. Then lace the other left and right to the top." I proceeded to unlace, then re-lace my left boot. "That way if you trip, sprain or break an ankle it only takes one cut up the middle."
Mate, it's all about the 7P's...
Prior Preparation Planning Prevents
PISS-POOR Performance
Laughing, I continued re-lacing my other boot. The 7P's. [3]
#18 CVS2BVS
When you're in the knee deep in shite, CVS2BVS is your best friend. That's what Ian reckons. [4] I'd been sent off to a course on psychology and thinking, SOT. One of the gems, Ian came out with was
Current View of Situation 2 Best View of Situation
Ian made us repeat this, CVS2BVS, CVS2BVS, CVS2BVS to drum it in. How does it work? If you visualise not just where you are at the present but where you need to be, you are free to concentrate on the path.
