smokebombhill:
I keep crying too. Thanks for sharing this.
punknitemike:
those pics are just beautiful, i'll always remember her with her guitar in her hands!
ericwine:
That's how I'll remember her - singing, playing her guitar, writing songs, being beautiful inside and out.

I was positively dumbstruck when I read about her passing earlier, and I never even had the honor of meeting her. This journal entry and more specifically her video have brought tears to my eyes.

I am so sorry for your loss, Miss C.

*hugs*
rigel:
those photos are so beautiful.
mhef:

I'm so sorry, lady. frown
jaytan:
I stumbled upon Elsie's story just today, so from an outsider's perspective, your set did a fantastic job capturing her beauty, and your tribute is a lovely testament of friendship.

As long as she's in your heart, she'll always be with you.

kiss
jameswyper:
thank you for sharing... bless her and bless you.
quietlythere:
Ashame to hear about this frown
annalee:
That is so awful. I really mean it that your photographs are the most beautiful tribute to her. You shouldn't feel guilty for grieving, her family would be honoured that she had meant so much to the other people who knew her. I hope you are ok, death is such a hard thing to deal with. Love you xxxx
quietlythere:
Onto a different note for a sec... Wonderful job on Karma's set smile
miyo:
those pictures are so beautiful and you shouldn't feel guilty for grieving, take care x x x
renna:
That's such a beautiful tribute, Cherry.
You captured Elsie so beautifully.

Today brings more clarity for me, but not less pain.
I wish I was closer so we could hug.
franpire:
Lovely to hear her sing.

I am so sorry for everyone's loss.

Take care and take your time grieving. X
kit:
I literally cannot express how much sadness i feel right now. This has really upset me, because i know what you're feeling right now, and the thought of your sadness and looking at your beautiful, beautiful pictures of her is making me cry harder than ive cried in a long time.

I hope that you're ok, i need to find out that you are.
redmess:
these photos are beautiful. you should really send them to her family if there is any way.
my condolences for the loss of such an all around lovely girl.
grieve, girl. do whatever you need to do.
xoxoxo
lil_hobo:
I know words don't mean much at a time like this but its all I can offer.
My thoughts and love are with you and eveyryone who was touched by elsie.
akemi:
i am so sorry you lost a friend and i cant be with you to support you.
i cannot imagine what you are going throught right now lady, i wish i could just be with you to hold your hand and be a shoulder to cry on frown
s_eldorado:
I had no idea about Elsie until you posted that - ironically I just had a tab open to her blog to say hello and now I can't.

I'm so sad about this.

frown
prussia:
I can't believe it!
I'm speachless
johnnydanger3284:
I miss her so much too. I never met her in person. But, we emailed back and forth several times. When her dog Bailey died it was really rough on her. And I emailed her relating my story of when I lost my dog, Zero. She emailed me back and thanked me, and told me it was so sweet of me to reach out like that. And, what I said touched her made me cry. This in turn made me cry! Heh.. She was a gentle spirit and so talented, endlessly beautiful. My heart goes out to you Cherry.
rigel:
are you really coming to ohio for halloween?????? REALLY??? get online!
frolic:
!!!!!!!! you're coming to halloween havana? i think i shit my pants smile
india:

So sad.

Hope you're ok miss. x
archie:
I am so sorry for you loss kiss
arly:
Your photo's are a beautiful tribute to her. You should never feel selfish for being sad, it just shows how many people she touched, her family would like that.
rogerrabbit:
great job on Gdgt. Are doing any post shoot depth of field adjustments? The plane of focus seems off line and I don't think your are using a bellows, although it would be cool if you did. That is a very fast lens you are using and the time of day or overcast helped out i keeping the focus tight.
ineedtocomeup:
Excellent work on the In Time set!! You are soo talented. Congratulations. smile
spud_bliss:

kit:
Hun im thinking about you all the time, i miss you and i hope you're ok.

trills:

meow:
Those pictures are beautiful.... I'm slow to this but thanks for the comment on my Lunch Lady set, dear. kiss

miao!!
volkov:
been checking out all of her videos of her singing. she really does seem angelic.

I'm sorry that you have lost a friend, and so cruelly. and you have done wonderfully by her with your work. hope the grief leaves you, but the best fond memories stay.

take care.


renna:
Those pictures look beautiful, Cherry.
delancey:
Beautiful pics and stories, what a nice tribute!!! Don't feel guilty for grieving, caring is a strong quality and I think every time we loose someone, it brings up all the loss we have had to deal with.
Thank you for all that and it seems you were both very lucky to know each other!
Take care.
clio:
thank you for sharing this with us. elsie will be missed so much.

this ring reminded me of you:

silversurfer:
Hi Cherry. I saw this article in the Chicago Tribune today and I thought of you. It's about photographers using cameras like the Holga for artistic purposes. It's not the most insightful analysis of all time, but it's quite good for mainstream media coverage, I think. (Under "related links", click on "photos" to see the pictures referenced in the article.)

On another note, I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend Elsie. I never met her, but it seems from what people are saying that she was pretty special. If it's any consolation, I think the Writing Free set that you shot of her is very beautiful. And of course, Elsie herself said in her journal that you were "able to capture the real me". So, thank you for that.
romanightowl:
*hug*
fox:
I just had a friend pass recently even though I didn't know this beautiful lady I am sure she will be missed. Rest in peace Elsie, and thank you cherry for remembering her like this is such a beautiful light!
naty:
I did well to read your blog. I was really sad
moira:
I planned to write you another letter after the other one got lost but it seems like that whenever I start my mind goes blank. Plus my handwriting seems to be getting weirder and weirder, so I'm going to write you an email now. Easier and you will actually be able to read it. And that the Royal Mail won't be able to lose it is another advantage of course.
xxxx.
scout:
merci merci!
heroine:
Those pictures are very beautiful! I'm so sorry for the loss of our Elsie! frown

Hey I just thought I'd drop by and give you props on the shoot you did for Starla.

I wasn't aware of your work before, but you have quite an eye and obviously the technical skills to boot.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.
annalee:
You have a magical eye not "quite" one :-p x
charley:
I'm so sorry you've lost a friend Cherry, what a sad situation. Those pictures are really beautiful.

So is the set you shot for Starla, you always stun me with you talent. I keep thinking about shooting a new set but it wouldn't be the same without you, I think I only trust YOU. Xxxx
annalee:
Yes indeed! You didn't stick around though, you went to the other side of the world!!!!!!! Ha just kidding but man it was gross to be so out of it again. I like being boring and sober so much now! Except for beautiful times with you on mushrooms or something, thats, different. I miss you more xxx
namaste:

brideofspanky:
this journal is a great homage to her. your memory of her and the way you speak of her to those who didn't know her... that's so much more. if it weren't for your post, i don't know if i could have even began to comprehend what a special person she was. thank you for that.
