Focus: Love: Your World, Your Images
Every unique photograph begins with an original point of view
The first book in a brand-new photographic series—shot mostly by amateurs—about seeing the world from a brand-new perspective!
Amateurs, by definition, work for love alone—so what subject could be more fitting for the first entry in a brand-new series focusing on the art of the amateur photographer than that potent symbol of love: the heart? Through their snapshot-hungry eyes, these photographers glimpse hearts everywhere: in graffiti scrawled on an alleyway wall, in paper cut by a child, and in nature’s worn stones scattered on a forest floor. All that’s necessary is to open our eyes…which is what this collection inspires us to do.

Photographs of hearts.
Heart-shaped leaves, hearts drawn in the sand or snow. Heart shaped padlocks. Etc. etc. etc.
I really liked the picture of the little brown calf with a white, heart-shaped spot on his forehead! What a fortuitous birthmark for the little guy!
As you can see by my avatar, I am very fond of taking photos of hearts that you find when out and about. :)

This is a picture book of the traditional symbol for the heart. It contains many color and black and white representations. The artist or photographer and the name of the work are the only text in the book.

Full disclosure-I received this book because I have an image in it.
Like many archetypical symbols, a heart can be seen as potent or banal.Collections of items or images together can increase the impact. As a photographer, I like many others find hearts a symbol I am drawn to and notice. I enjoyed the many ways and places other photographers saw and shot hearts. Each artist also got to make a short statement about their photograph.

This is a great little photography book. Very basic, almost obvious subject, but presented in a way that makes it innovative.
