Number...4

...is not only the number of the women I hold in my heart, because my heart goes also out to all those women who have made and make our life worthwhile and without whom there would be no life. It goes out to all those women who are subject to the most terrible sacrifices and are compelled to suffer these unjustly in silence. I wish the 8th of March were not be the only day on which to remember how precious and necessary women are to us all.

Probably the BEST text I will read about today and the
100 years since Women`s Day started....

Well, we have had a female PM and even a bishop, so I guess things have changed over the years.

If I am lucky, I might photograph some woman celebrating or "demonstrating" later today!

Nice photo. I think you always manage to ad some really elegant elements in to your photographs!

Your photos always express so much. And your words, your thoughts, today are the best. Thank you for sharing!

You are a man who speaks and photographs from the heart.

The world needs more men like you.
