End of an era

If you ever visited Kent and I, you had to have met Rick. He lived with us for ten years. He started out with us when we rented on North Congress and then moved with us to Second Street. He finally left the nest last year. Another chapter has closed. Rick finally finished his masters degree. He came here in 1994 (I think) to pursue a masters, but got hired by OU to be the official photographer of the university. This full time job (and then some) took up too much time for Rick to complete the degree. Plus, he had a job he loved, doing what he wanted to do.

A couple of years ago, he decided to finish the darn thing, and now that hard work has paid off. A masters thesis for photography consists of a thesis show. Rick chose for his subject, his mother, who had Huntington's Disease. This disease finally took her life just a few weeks ago. This show was a beautiful portrait of a strong women put together by a strong love.

These stunning portraits are on display in the upstairs of the Dairy Barn. Not sure how long it will be up, though.
