Primer – A great rental
Being that there is absolutely nothing in theaters I would like to see tonight, I am forced to think of some of my favorite “oldies” that are well worth a rental. Probably one of my most favorite movies ever was a low budget, do-it-yourself film called Primer. The making of the film is as fascinating as the movie itself. Its only 60 minutes long, and I promise you will not get it the first time you watch it. It took me three viewings before I finally “got” what was happening. This is a thinking person’s movie, so if you are not into intellectually thought provoking movies, you may not like it.
Shane Carruth, the director was a disgruntled engineer who decided he wanted to make movies, so he saved his money, wrote, produced, as well as starred, edited and did the sound track. Amazingly talented guy.
This is a mind blowing movie…IF you get it.
We had a wonderful meal at the Classic on Noble St. In Anniston which was FABULOUS, followed by a ceremony renewing the wedding vows, which was performed by Brother Kughn, the same minister which officiated 50 years ago. How cool is that?
Marie had saved her wedding dress and her niece Madora wore it for a few quick pictures. This is the first time in my professional career, as well as life, that I have ever seen a preserved wedding dress to be used in such an appropriate way. I looked very closely at the dress, it was in Amazing condition….it seemed the material was different in some way, cant quite put my finger on it, but it looked brand new. 
This picture was taken on the steps of the church where Marie and Preston were married. The picture cut out, Doreen’s idea, was taken on the same steps 50 years ago! 🙂 This was so neat to be part of and I am so thankful that Doreen, Marie and Preston as well as all their family members invited me to be part of their day. 
As a wedding photographer, I see a lot of happy beginnings. It was so COOL to see a couple in as love as any couple I have every shot, 50 years after the big day. It was very, very nice- and it was clear that Marie and Preston have many, many happy years to come. 
He was singing Happy Birthday to Katie, one of the Bridesmaids…it wasnt her birthday! LOL
Also a big thank you to Enrique for driving all the way out from Louisiana to shoot with me today. You did great Enrique! Thank you so much for your help, I hope it was a good experience for you!
The Sky Cam ROCKS!!
