Description
I was feeling a bit jealous because everyone seems to have a Heart in Book Spine photo except for me. So, I got out the necessary materials and made one. Unfortunately, I don't own a red lens filter, so I made do with what was at hand.
This is my entry for $chix0r and $spinegrinder 's Anti-Valentines Contest .

yep, it's a real pig's heart from the butcher counter. the red filter is the thing most people use to put in the spine of the book. the light goes through it and makes a red heart shadow on the book. it wouldn't help this photo at all.

Fantastic concept. I doubt that this is a heart, though

lol thanks... but why would you doubt that it's a heart?

It rather looks like a simple piece of meat. I'm missing any characteristic heart structures...

Ah, I have been waiting for something like that
But I must admint I let myself into the flow this year and even recyled the lame idea you parodize here. Shame on me. I'm not even depressed enough this year to rant about it, as I usually do. then again, still two days to go, who knows

haha yes... but the bee keeper saint was in charge of honey, right? honey? sweetheart? huh? maybe? i dunno

Nice association
Actually he also wed couples who weren't allowed to. (Hence the much later tradition of the valentine's day.) Still, I prefer execution and the bee keeper fact

The cleverness of this shot makes me smile, a lot.
Such an original take on a 'classic' theme.
You are, as always a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.

I'm afraid I'm useless at meaningful or helpful comments; but I do love this and just want to share. It's a breath of fresh air to see something different along these lines at last.

Amazing idea. But it's very good.
Anyway, I think Valentine's Day isn't so bad. it's a day, when many people have more courage to tell about their feelings. In the other hand, that's true- it's too pink day. :/

that's a good point. i guess you're right that some people need a special day to be courageous

hey I've been wanting to work with organs, what kinda heart is this? did you just get it from a butcher? any tips?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yup, i picked up this pig's heart from the butcher. they had a whole tub of them in the display case. i don't really have a lot of tips, because this is the first time i've shot with something like this. i guess just have fun with it, and don't let it touch your camera

Heh, this is a really nice shot. It has that "It's Valentine's Day again, I'm just gonna leave my heart at home today" feel to it

Great lighting, sharp photo. Just kidding. Yours is certainly more original than the others, though gross. That may just be a vegetarian perspective, though. I love where you have the book open to, though. Funny. I hate valentines.

hehe i felt a bit guilty because a number of my friends are vegetarians, and i know they're going to be disturbed by this one

Just something you picked up down at the butchers? I remember once in middle school, a friend brought in a cow's brain in a jar for some sort of science project. He was walking through the Gym on the way to bus at the end of school, tripped and...dropped it. Brain everywhere. I felt sorry for the janitor.

Anyway, I hadn't actually come across any of the heart in book spine photos before, but I like your take on what is, apparantly, a little cliche.
