I always love to see what kind of new photos Ginger would put out every week. Even though I didn't know her in person, I knew her from the work she's produced. She is a big inspiration to me.
Thanks Ginger, we'll all be smiling because of you.
Few days ago i was thinking why Ginger is not posting as she use to do so i didn't knew she was ill
She will be remembered as a great person and photographer. My heart goes with her family at this sad moment
Thine is the beauty of light; mine is the song of fire. Thy beauty exalts the heart; my song inspires the soul. Allama Iqbal
What a sad, sad news :cry Her inspiration, her pictures, her life will be never forgotten, it takes a very special person to inspire so many people.
My thoughts and prayers are with G's family. RIP My friend!
How true it is that words can never say or convey your feelings in a time like this. My deepest sympathy for the family. I remember finding out that Ginger was from the "Low Country". I lived in South Carolina for many years and when I went to her site it brought back the fond memories. Thank you Andy and Smugmug for what you are doing for her and her family. I have already purchased some photos and will be back for more. She inspired me as I am sure she did many. God Bless you Ginger....Rest in Peace.
Ginger provided a special touch to dgrin. I always enjoyed viewing her work and the perspective of her images posted here. She will always be remembered through her images..........farewell Ginger.

Why should I be out of your mind Because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, Somewhere very near, Just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past.

I'm so shocked and saddened to hear that Ginger has passed away. Dee emailed me with the news (we had a busy week and weekend, so I missed seeing the thread about her illness and passing). My heart goes out to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed here...I loved her photos and her free spirit. May her spirit fly even freer now above all earthly cares and woes... God Speed, Ginger.
Honest; open; always, always, always wanting to find a way to be a better photography. This is how I think of Ginger
She didn't have time for all the overblown, ego driven blather others involved themselves with. She had work to do: create, write, learn, share, inspire.
She was truly an inpiration.

Farewell to one of my favorite characters on the forum. I'll miss her warmth and lovely photographs.
Ginger -
You always responded with kind words to my images,
when i asked for advice, you shared so willingly.
Your life enriched so many people on dgrin, and now your pictures will continue to enrich the lives of many more......
My mother's photos
I came on line tonight to have a moment with my mother and her photos. Instead I find all these posts from friends around the world. I read the kind words of Andy and those whom she has shared the "Dgrin" world. To me my mother was always taking photos. As a child she posed us here and there and everywhere in search of that special picture. My dad built her a darkroom in our second bathroom. Strips of film hung everywhere, chemicals reaked throughout the house, the Besseler Projector towered above the toilet. From all this I have a box of photos I treasure and carry everywhere. Throughout the years my mother was always there flitting around the room taking photos. She nearly drove me crazy ducking and weaving through the crowd clicking away on her Nikormat. In the last several years she would excitedly e-mail us about the latest challenge and how she was going to either win or lose. I would link to her thread and find the most amazing photos by her and her friends and only wish I had been born with her skill and ability to capture the magic of the moment. I asked her recently why the obssesion with photgraphy and getting the shot. She replied it kept her connected with the world (she was deaf) and allowed her to be part of what she could not have. I never have found the time to look at all her photos and probably never will (13000 is a lot with more on her computer and cameras i am sure). Every photo I have seen has convinced me that the State of South Carolina lost it's pre-immiment (sp?) visual historian on Saturday. I believe her family will do her showing for her and any photo bought will help either with funeral expenses or the showing. At this point though we are trying to come to grips with the rapidity of her passing and the shock with which we all feel. I thank the members for their kind comments. I also thank you for giving her the gift of a world in which she was special and connected in a way which she could not in the real world because of her hearing. I believe in the end though she showed us all how to really hear the beauty of this world; just look around. I can not wait to see her showing in God's Gallery (he must have been tired of the old photos).
Thanks for letting me ramble, her oldest son Scott
We will miss you Ginger, your photos were excellent, and by being around, you always added something special to the forum!
However, despite the sadness associated with such an occasion, we can rejoice, in that she has returned to be with her Heavenly Father once again, And, can be reunited with her family once again after this life...

She certainly had no equal here at Dgrin. We'll miss you, Ginger.
