These shapes caught my eye. They are currently on display at the London Eye.

We were exploring the various booths and tents at the Loveland Fire & Ice festival when I found this sign setup inside a massive inflatable igloo. The lighting inside the igloo was beautifully diffused and practically begged me to take photos. This sign was sitting on a display table and does an amazing job summing up the heart and culture that is the Loveland art community.

My fiancee got these for me one February when I had the flu. I wanted them as a photo prop, hoping I’d get better in time to shoot it for Valentine’s Day, but… at least they looked just as pretty the next year. 

What you see is the contents of 9 little boxes. I was surprised that so many were needed, but fewer just didn’t have the right look.

I bought this heart today for less than $2.00. The model is standing outside in the freezing cold weather. There is a storm warning and we are expecting a snowstorm tonight. The red heart is beautiful against her white dress.
