Last Friday night the Cathy family from Chick-fil-A held a movie premier at the Fox for the movie Fireproof that will be out at the end of next month. They are very focused on marriage and helping to decrease the divorce rate. This movie focuses on that and they wanted to share it with the community and then have those people take their friends on September 26th. Kirk Cameron stars in the movie and he was there as well. It was a beautiful evening starting off with a V.I.P. reception and then the showing followed. Afterwards there were some speeches and it was truly an encouraging evening. We were extremely thankful to Ruth and Adam for coming and helping us out. There were over 4,000 people in attendance, so needless to say we needed a few more bodies with cameras.

Along with a wide asortment of delicious Chick-fil-A food, Affairs to Remember were on hand to add their touch to the event.

Truett Cathy is a man that has set a lot of examples in many ways. He and his wife Jeanette will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this year.

Bubba Cathy, Truett’s middle child shared with the group how important it is to go out on September 26th to support the movie.

Kirk shared stories of the making of the movie and of his marriage for 17 years.

    Ruth, it was such a joy to have you document this event with us. Thank you again for all you did!

    What an incredible message this movie brings to the public. I can’t wait to take my husband to see it. I’m so happy I had the chance to capture such a wonderful event with you both, Thanks for asking.

I think I was glued to the Olympics more this year than ever before. I love the watching the swimming, diving and gymnastics. This year seemed to completely take the event to an entire new level and one that I doubt that many other countries will be able to compete with ever again. The fact that China spent an estimated 40 Billion dollars on this event as a whole blows my mind. This was not just the Olympics to them. It was transforming our vision of China and their future. They were investing into their country.

As a photographer we were constantly watching the other photographers and their coverage of the games. What an experience it would have been. The amount of World Records alone that happened not to mention the opening and closing ceremonies. I saw someone post a link of Vincent Laforet’s images from the games. They are truly amazing and I admired the unique way in which he captured the games. I thought I would put up two of my favorite diving images. I hope you enjoyed this world event as much as we did.

    Regis, if that is the case I think there might be some questions about if you are 16 or not.

  • regis - September 3, 2008 - 1:39 am

    Did you see me at the Olympic? I was part of the Gold Medal winning gymnastic team… I did the floor exercise 🙂

  • ctorres - August 29, 2008 - 11:54 am

    Garrett, Oh yea, too bad for Vincent. I definitely think it was a mistake. 🙂 We too were GLUED to the tv for these events. Really a joy to see such records being broken though this generation.

  • Garrett - August 29, 2008 - 9:54 am

    These are great! Do you think he did that on purpose or he just forgot to change his shutter speed? 😉

    Joy and I were totally into the swimming and gymnastics as well.

Nothing stirs my heart with excitement like a handwritten letter. The romance and timelessness that it holds will always cause my pulse to speed just a bit. It draws to me now more than ever in this age of email, text, twitters and constant feeding of information. Just as I adore letters that my grandparents wrote, I feel that our children will desire that same intimate connection to us. This thought reminded me today that I need to take time to write to my family and my husband. As I want my life and relationships to be closely documented in picture as well as in the written word. I encourage you to slow your step and your breath. Take your paper and fine pens and write to those you love. Remember it is a legacy you leave in your words as well.

    I am so with you. i love letters!!

  • Joy Nudd - August 22, 2008 - 9:31 pm

    So true. Garrett has been writing Graycen letters ever since she was born. She doesn’t even know it yet, but every year he writes her a letter about life…and other times as well. He wrote to me when we dated, got married, etc as well. I totally love this post because it is our foundation as a family as well. I have often thought to post his letters to her on the blog, to share about the thoughts of a dad and encourage everyone to write letters in this technology age.

    thanks for this,
    Joy
