This is my wife, she hates when I take photos of her while she is unaware. I do this because, her natural poise is one of strength, intelligence and affection; it is the most beautiful thing I have photographed.
She is one of the most admirable people on the planet and those that really know her, see the unconditional love that she has for all people, especially children.
She has been my absolute rock in some of my darkest hours. She has been my family, when I had none and this was and still is the greatest gift of all. I am constantly indebted to her for this.
There is not a day that goes by where we don't declare our love for each other, some may see this as unnecessary, but I think it holds our place in the world.
Being 'International Womens Day' I'd like to express my love and unequivocal respect for my wife and all women in my life, today and all days.
