That laugh. Those eyes. The best.
Anja was a force. Intellectually, visually, journalistically and personally.
The body of work she put together in far too little time is as good as anything we have ever seen. A wonderful blend of action, reaction, motion and emotion.
She died senselessly. Her life stolen by a coward hiding beyond an automatic weapon and a uniform.
I adore her. Her humor, her passion, her vision, her goodness.
She just can't be gone. With all of us she will be forever here.
