I'm so incredibly sad to hear the news that photographer Yulanda Yee has passed away after a second battle with lymphoma. Yulanda and I were never close, but we followed each other's online journals for a number of years. She was the first photographer I ever purchased (three, small) prints from, all the more cherished now. I always found her aesthetic inspiring, both in her personal style and her image making.
In 2008, Yulanda created Little Thoughts, a blog that followed her day to day explorations in style, good food, and all the other things she loved. The photographs she made to illustrate it were impeccable, and she soon picked up a following. I have especially loved her self-portraits. Little Thoughts is an example of the kind of creativity we can strive for in our everyday.

I can't sleep and I barely know what to say. The news of her death came as a shock; I knew she was ill, but didn't realize how quickly it had worsened.
Looking now at her photographs, all I can think is: What a beautiful life.
You'll be missed, Yulanda.

The passing of a person always bring a sense of sadness even to someone who hardly know the person who passed away. But she seems to have had a beautiful life where she has managed to touch people's life by way of her career in photography so she has left a legacy of her own, which many won't be able to achieve in their lifetime.
