a portrait of my husband, once a week, every week, for the 10th year of our marriage

As we walk the foreign landscape of the Icelandic countryside and I look at my husband, camera in hand, I realize - he doesn't let me photograph him much. Here celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary, because we made it 10 long years (yay!) and it is something to celebrate. People always say that marriage is tough and you have ups and downs, hills and valleys, but as a newly wed you are just so excited you found the one you don't want to think about the tough stuff ahead. There had been down moments already, and for me at least, I thought "there is nothing I can't handle." The truth is that along the way there were things I didn't think I could handle, things that got damn tough. But looking back on it all, knowing what I know now, it was all worth it. Because he is worth it. And you know what, I am way stronger than I thought I was, and I am proud of that.

He has always supported my photography, encouraged me and loved what I've done... as long as he is not the man in front of the camera. But some how, with less begging that I imagined before I asked, he has agreed to allow me to photograph him once a week, every week, for the 10th year of our marriage. My very first 52 week project..
