It’s been a joy for the last nine years to go to events where Mary Eshbaugh Hayes, esteemed social columnist for our competitor, The Aspen Times, was covering them too.  I don’t think she ever knew how honored I was to be in the same room as her, shooting the same guests at some of the most coveted events that Aspen hosts every year.  Now that we’ve lost her, I needed to share how influential she was in my life and career.  See my article in the weekend Time Out section of the The Aspen Daily News.  http://www.aspendailynews.com/section/entertainment/166248
