The Pont des Arts or Passerelle des Arts is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the Seine River. It links the Institut de France and the central square (cour carrée) of the palais du Louvre.
Between 1802 and 1804, a nine-arch metallic bridge for pedestrians was constructed at the location of the present day Pont des Arts: this was the first metal bridge in Paris. This innovation was due to Napoléon I, following a design of English manufacture.
The bridge has sometimes served as a place for art exhibitions, and is today a studio en plein air for painters, artists and photographers who are drawn to its unique point of view. The Pont des Arts is also frequently a spot for picnics during the summer.
Nowadays the bridge has become a hotspot for couples who attach a padlock to the railing and throw the key into the river below.
In Hungarian they call "devil's padlock" those mechanical puzzle's that look so impossible to open but if you figure out the trick it takes a second. This ring I called Satan's Padlock. Because it looks like something multiply locked but it is actually already open. The two rings, the iron and the copper one are absolutely independent. Ok, you need to heat it up to red hot to do this but who said it is not part of the game?
On the video I show you the opening in plastilin model.
I made the iron part and then it was my girlfriend's idea to insert the copper oval in it that made this ring to what it is. Thank you Viki!

Sunday Photo Walk
Elvert Xavier Barnes Photography
______________
One year ago today on Thanksgiving Monday, 29 November 2004, on a photo assignment for the Washington Spark Newsletter www.washingtonspark.org I would accompany Anu Yadav to Arthur Capper Projects in SE WDC www.washingtonspark.org/photo/thumbnails.php?album=42. She had written and was in the process of developing the one woman play 'Capers' which caught my attention because the one woman aspect and the interviewing process of her documentary was not unlike those specfics regarding my project "This Is For The Black Men Who've Contemplated Suicide When That Rainbow Was Just Too Much!"
The article was published in the December 2004 issue of the Washington Spark.
Wanting to nuture an ongoing relationship with the community I would return a few days later and deliver some of the pictures to some of the subjects www.washingtonspark.org/photo/displayimage.php?album=42&a... whom I had photographed when I would visit the area with Anu Yadav.
At which point I would realize that if I had come just a few hours or a day later the one group of subjects would no longer have been there. Having knocked on their door at 328 K Street when Brenda would open it I'd observe that she and a few others were in the process of packing. Thanking me, she said, 'We'll moving. Had you come a few hours later you would have missed us.'
Even to this day and every time since that I've revisited what was known as Arthur Capper I reflect on that moment.
Moments later when I would drop off some photos at the Recreational Center, just a block or so away, the Unit Manager would insist that, in the future, any reference to the area be Capper-Carrollusburg Community.
Over the months since and particularly since June 2005 I have revisited the area many times, photographically speaking. As was the case when during my Sunday Photo Walk on 27 November 2005 that I would commemorate my photo assignment from one year before.
In recent months and even more son in the past weeks there is evidence that now still remains will soon be demolished.
One year ago today I would capture some of the then few remaining residences who where then in the process of relocating. When, the other day, that I would comment to a close friend that I had been photographing this area for almost year, observing that the buildings are all now vacant and boarded up, rhetorically, he'd ask 'Where will all the poor people go?'

Twist key for screw type of medieval padlock. All hand made and Brazed together. It has been chemically cleaned just enough to show the joints. Usually these keys are pitch black and with accumulated rust form centuries of oxidization. These joints have withstood the test of time. The interior design of metal within the keyhead is used to strengthen the keyhead bow . it took quite a bit of skill to make these keys.

Wherever there is a bridge there is a rusting and rather cliché symbol of love (usually many of them). Should love be symbolised by padlocks, like there is no escape? Not for me; love is a beautiful freedom ...
At the ABUS fair stand, surveillance systems were presented alongside with robust mechanical security devices such as padlocks, and alike.
We took a boat trip down the Seine. I didn't want to take the same old predictable photos of Notre Dame etc that I took the last time I went, and that everyone else has taken a million times. And as we glided (glid?) along, I started noticing all the people on the quaysides, sort of hidden from the main roads above, and it struck me that there were all these secret moments going on. So I decided to capture them. They are technically very imperfect - low light, not enough zoom, moving boat...but I submit them as a slice of Parisian life, and hope somebody enjoys them.
Like the tiles in the tower, people also attach padlocks to railings and specially designed trees to express their love.
Let's just say there was a truckload of these spread across the site.
This complex is used for weddings and also has an open air market. The wooden building in the background is a reconstruction of a pre-revolution Russian church. In the foreground is a "love lock tree"; padlocs are affixed to it by people to symbolize their love for each other. Unfortunately, when the tree gets full (as seen here), someone removes all the locks...
A single, signature-skull padlock perfectly underscores the essential McQueen motifs of a richly grained calfskin duffel. - See more at: www.shoppersfeed.com/42442-alexander-mcqueen-small-padloc...

A fence in Szekszárd where people have taken a fancy to pledging their undying love by locking an engraved padlock to the railings. I presume they each have a key and can remove it if true love ends.
