Via The Sonic Blog, I discovered the work of Eric Weeks. His project World Was in the Face of the Beloved is really nice. From his statement:

I have been photographing my wife Stacy, whom I married four years ago this fall. My relationship with her is the closest, kindest and most successful of my life. My photographs of her are a celebration of this accomplishment.

Naturally, I think of Harry Callahan’s photographs of his wife, Eleanor.
