Finding hearts



Have you heard of Chopin's heart was smuggled after his death to a place where his heart was. This collection of 'Find it in Everything' by Drew Barrymore is a collection of pictures where she finds hearts. Now we know that themes could be evolving out of celebrities holding camera.

If you stick a red balloon onto a mirror, there is an angle at which the mirror and its reflection together look like a heart.

Oh now I see the book is for Valentines.
