photography professor Masumi Hayashi fatally shot

Manzanar Relocation Camp, Monument, 1995, panoramic photo collage, 48"x 80"
(thanks to Lynn for posting this on the Sistagraphy listserv)

I didn't previously know her work and this is a horrible way to find out about it.

I was crushed when I heard the news. When they mentioned her name I just cried. I have wanted to meet her for years. I had never studied photography, but wanted to take her class. But she has been taken. It is such a loss
