Rules of Life by Kirsten Bruening

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” Albert Einstein
For a while we all play by the rules, but then comes the time when rules don’t help anymore and we have to fight. Life knows no rules, life plays not always a fair game. Life means we have to decide anew, every day. We have a free will, we can decide every day if this will be a good or a bad day. Life is not a fairy tale, life is life and let live. Accept, tolerate…..As long as I live, when you need help, you will never need to beg anyone to notice. I will act. Thats the only rule of life which ever count.

    I like this photograph! There’s something about that photograph that makes me think, life is a game, that what it makes me think. I love that it is black and white, gives you a mystery vibe

    I like simplicity. I like complexity. This picture combines both with ease. The composition catches your eye and takes you on a journey to create a bigger picture for yourself. Perfect.

    What is black and white photography…?
    Your style…
    Sensual, not cloying sweet, and reflecting the real emotions and feelings of the photographer, with a hidden meaning…
    I love to see every time, to be surprised by these sharp photos…
    Clean air is the art of breathing…

    Kirsten has captured the essence of still life photography. The depth field and emphasis she has put on the subject has given meaning to them. Excellent work!!

    Absolutely love the shallow depth of field and it’s very cool that only one subject is sharp and everything else is soft.
