I remember telling people at one point that one of my biggest goals in life was to be remembered. The mere fact that my existence in this world had, in some way, affected others positively would have made my life seem a little more meaningful. I found out this evening that my old mentor, boss and fellow photographer passed away with her husband just 3 days ago in a tragic car accident in Ohio. I am somewhat humbled that at just 26 years old, Bridget was able to touch so many lives - including mine - and I can only hope that in my lifetime, I am able to touch as many. For the few years that I knew Bridget at the Daily Bruin, there will always be fond memories of late night editing, shooting assignments together and hearing about her adventures abroad. She was my Photo Editor at the Daily Bruin when I was a contributor, constantly encouraging this shy sophomore to take assignments and critiquing my work. I may never become the photographer she was but I certainly learned a lot from her positive attitude and adventurous spirit. I can’t even remember a time seeing her without that smile on her face and am just glad to know that she’ll always be remembered. Cheers Bridget.
