Description

BP and The Chicago Group has lost our dear friend, Ellen Hodges, who passed away quite unexpectedly. Ellen was an excellent photographer and one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. Leslie, Carol, Ann, and I will miss her terribly when we go out to photograph in the future. This image is from Nina's garden, a favorite place of Ellen's, and one which she was happy to share with us.

I remember many beautiful photos that Ellen captured from Nina's garden and how much she enjoyed going there for a shoot. She was such a special person. Her enthusiasm, kindness and generosity of spirit for photography and the caring support to BP members themselves will truly be missed. This is a perfect tribute to her, Lindley - photo-wise, as well as, your heartfelt commentary of this wonderful photographer and genuinely likable and gracious lady. #11467445

I didn't know Ellen personally but I was always a fan of her work. I am glad I took the opportunity to tell her that I thought she was an amazing photographer. She will truly be missed here on BP. #11467494

I, too, had never met Ellen but I was a huge fan of her images here at BP. She was always so gracious and kind when commenting on my images. I will miss her here. Gorgeous image, Lindley! #11467501
