Love You is a selection of photographs by Deanna Templeton centering around the idea of love and its symbolism, especially the heart shape as it manifests itself in myriad forms in public streets worldwide. Be it a lock clamped onto a bridge with a wish and a prayer, or a marriage proposal scrawled into the sand, public expressions of love date back to prehistoric cave paintings. At its core the heart symbol, like the two fingered peace sign, is the simplest way to express your feelings — a shorthand for “I love you.” A sentiment seemingly in short supply these days, and precisely why Deanna chose this theme for her One Picture Book.
