Remembering Julie Steiskal

Julie is someone who was only in Laura and my life briefly but the one day I got to know her left a lasting impression on me.  She was funny, passionate about what she was doing in life, and an extremely talented photographer.  This past week Julie lost her life trying to save a member of her church group from drowning on a  trip to the North Shore.  Please keep Julie and her family and friends in your prayers.  She will no doubt be deeply missed in the photography community.

I recorded some audio clips from that day and pulled out some of the ones involving Julie.

That audio is haunting, but also a great reminder of the laughter Julie had in her. We’ll miss you Julie.

Scott, the audio is powerful. She was here, and she existed… Thank you for pulling that together.

I can’t even begin to say how much this has been affecting me since finding out Julie passed away, and what’s bizarre is that I really didn’t know her that well, just the one day in Maple Grove. To hear her voice again is somehow calming to me and I think just reminds me that at any moment of any day even the most animated individuals can lose their life. Julie was and is an inspiration to a lot of people, and I know thinking of her will help me keep in perspective what’s most important in life while we struggle through the day-to-day: faith, family and friends, and a passion for all of these. Thank you, Julie, for touching me; you and your family are absolutely in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you Scott for giving us the sound of Julie. I’m her mom and this really means a lot to us.

Scott,

Could we get a copy of the audio from you? I can’t seem to play it on the web anymore. Thank you.

Julie was my childhood friend. I just found out she died tonight. I am so sad. Thank you for letting me her voice once more.
