Thanks for the shout out! I've been interested in Oblique Strategies for years, and love the way that - despite being originally created to get out of music/recording slumps - the cards help solve any number of creative problems! Congratulations on your Mastershot - it's a great photo!

Using oblique strategies obliquely from the original intention. It's fitting. :)

Hey, thank you for the shout out!

I have been intrigued by oblique strategies for a while now but haven’t made the purchase. Would you say it’s more broadly/generally helpful, or do you use it to get through specific, acute challenges?

Neil Milton's avatar

I would say both. It helps me get out of my own head when I get stuck in a creative hole, but at the same time, it can be fun to just pull out a card and think "how can I live my life by this, today?"

Ooh, that latter one sounds right up my alley!

Congratulations on the Leica Mastershot - an achievement to be proud of. Glad that you are a fellow fan of Oblique Strategies. Have you see the Eno film by Gary Hustwit?

Thanks so much. 🫡❤️ I haven't seen the Eno film yet, but it's on my list. (I have a stupid, chaotic list of things on Evernote :) )

It's a very good film although I do wonder what I missed (disappointingly there was no David Byrne interview in the version I saw)! They are doing a worldwide stream tomorrow but I think you are busy photographing bands at the moment?
