A Beautiful Spirit Shawn Mortensen Passes On. R.I.P.

By Kim Hastreiter

I feel so sad this morning because I just found out last night that the lovely, spirited crazy, enthusiastic, hilarious, handsome, exuberant, super-talented and beautiful photographer Shawn Mortensen passed away last night. I was shocked as I am sure his hoards of friends, family and admirers were to receive this news (I received an email from his brother last night). WOW. Shawn was a super special guy with an outrageous energy and his pictures tell the story better than I can. He was special and gifted. And BELOVED. Everyone who knew him knows what I'm talking about. Rest in peace Shawn.
