Creed of Gold Movie Premiere

I’m going to post a few catch-up posts here on the blog, as I have a few posts that aren’t recent events, but I want to have up here, for memory’s sake.

Last summer, Veronica and I were extras in the movie, Creed of Gold.  I was friends with the family who headed up the production, and we had such fun being on the movie set.  They actually call “Action!” before each shot, which I thought was just way too cool.

I asked Dad if he would go to the movie premiere with me.  I was so excited when he said we could go … and even more thrilled when I heard it was going to be a formal event!

We spent a few hours walking around downtown before the premiere, which was fun – especially with my camera.

I had my camera strap looped over a railing for the above picture.  I kept adjusting it and Dad was asking, “Are you sure that’s going to work?” He was quite patient waiting for me to take pictures of various objects, and even suggested a few shots.

That night we got dressed up for the premiere, and I got some shots using my tripod.   It was fun to see some of my friends at the premiere, and very cool to see the movie!  They put a lot of work into the film, and it was a lot more fun having met several of the actors – everyone laughed when the director came on the screen as a barista.

I’m so glad we got to go to the premiere – I wish Veronica could have come!   I had a nice time spending time with Dad, and I’m glad we got some pictures together.

Oh, another cool thing – the morning after the movie premiere, there was a half-marathon that started right outside our hotel.  Dad got up early and saw the start of the race, then he called me and told me to meet him downstairs in 20 minutes so we could go watch the end.  Well … I woke up again 15 minutes later, threw on a t-shirt and jeans and made it down to the lobby in 4 minutes flat.   Thanks to cell phones, I eventually met up with Dad and we did get to watch the first several runners cross the finish line.    That was fun to take pictures of, too … I especially enjoyed watching the people who competed in wheelchairs … it takes a lot of endurance.

The first runner …
