Great Big Space: remember

Happy to click and give

This is something Rick took delight in: taking some unusual shots and hours (or minutes) later, handing out prints. This was last summer's Mahoning Valley Astronomical Society's picnic, from a story in their newsletter, The Meteorite

Richard Pirko, November 25, 1952 - October 15, 2008

A sharing space for thoughts of one who left us too soon, who left a gaping empty space in our hearts, our lives, and the world. By the way, the photographs in the header above and the background photos are some of the thousands of great photos Rick took: these are of the Serpent Mounds of Ohio, a lunar eclipse, a fall equinox, sunflowers in his garden, aerial shots from a plane he piloted. The ones below in the sidebar are all also from Rick's camera.

Rick took this on one of our recent jobs at Strickler Planetarium in February when it was so freezing cold it was hard to even be outside, let alone use a camera (click for observing party that night)
