Pick & Mix Project.

Keeping the idea of the Love Padlocks in mind, I wondered how you could represent that idea without having to describe it.
Of course you could make the locks love hearts, but I thought that was a little bit too cliche. 
As I previously said when I think of locks I think of completely opposite ideas to romantic metaphors. Locks make me think of more serious things really, so I felt it was quite a challenge to represent this "Love Padlock"  idea without being too cliche and without relying one words. 

This was a photo I took in Paris at the lock bridge. This padlock stood out to me the most as it seemed quite ironic. It's a really old and rusty padlock and it's not attached to another lock. It looks quite obtrusive and stands out from all the other typical locks. Though it has still got a date and name written on it, so the purpose still stands.
