6 of Four

It is kind of like a dream to see something that has been talked and thought about for so long to finally come to. We had two evenings to show and talk about the pictures, experiences and goals of Recapture on our recent trip to Thailand. We would like to thank everyone for coming out and showing your support. We would especially like to thank Digital Arts Studio for printing these beautiful prints. Thank you Ashley Tyner, of Soho Myriad, for coming out and for the wonderful custom framework. All pieces presented both evenings were for sale with the proceeds going back to Recapture to fund future projects. We are going to have a limited number of prints for sale of these and other prints that will be offered in the near future.

Here is a slideshow of actual pictures the we took while in Thailand that we had showing in our studio: Recapture Showing

The first evening, Sunday, was for friends and family. This, not only included our local family members, but our friends and our church family from All Souls Fellowship. A big thanks to Katie’s mom and sister for their help in providing and preparing most of the food for both nights! We had a wonderful turnout and inspiring feedback. Below are some of the details:

The cashew nuts that we had were actually bought in southern Thailand, outside of Phuket where there were rows and rows of cashew trees. We bought these at a roadside store where we watched as they turned over drying cashews in the sun.

The second evening, Monday, involved local Atlanta photographers. Thanks to all who helped in prep for this evening and as the night went on. It was actually funny to have some of these photographers ask us if they needed to go to the showing on Sunday or Monday because they were both our friends and photographers! Some of of our friends, Jeff and Andre Shinabarger, were present. Jeff has started a great project called the Gift Card Giver that you may want to check out! We were delighted to have Matt & Melissa Yung and their daughter Kai! Some of the other photographers in attendance were: Andrew and Rachel Niesen, Mark and Erin Adams, Mel and Jeremy Roth, Ernie and Chris Russell and Jen and Adam Linke with their son Hayden. Also, Will Godfrey, Jonathan and Lacey Lacour, Ross and Brandi Knight, Jessica Horwitz, Courtney Jessica’s associate, David and Paula Christensen, and Sara Speert and Nick. Finally the evening could not be complete without an apperiance by Zack Arias and Erik Dixon, accompanied by the talented, Meghan Coffee. A special thanks to Ben Vigil for lending his talent in documenting this evening for us.

This is a special guestbook. It was the journal that Katie poured her heart into while in Thailand

Both nights I got up and spoke for a few minutes about the trip and the impact Recapture had on the people we photographed
