Please feel free and heavily encouraged to re-blog anything I've posted. Re-blogging is like a round of applause IMHO, really makes me happy to see my stuff re-blogged; even if I myself re-blogged it from someone else. Likes are good too, but they're like a thumbs up. Applause trumps a thumbs up, you know?

Also, I Don't Post a Lot. I'm Much More of a Quality over Quantity type. Usually less than Ten Posts a Day. So you may have to Really Look through your Dash to Notice what I post.

Oh, also a note for my fellow Trekkies: I'm the guy responsible for TrekCore.com's Rare Photo and Ultimately Human specials, and basically flooding the internet via TrekCore with a few thousand awesome and rare Star Trek photos for the past 5 years. So... yeah. Oh and, go through my Archive, it is frakking awesome and shiny!
Captain James T. Kirk & Captain Jean-Luc Picard on horseback buddy shot autograph, signed by Bill Shatner and Patrick Stewart.
I had to do this one first.  The big deal highly-coveted 5 captain’s of Star Trek buddy shot.  Courtesy of the first ever five captain’s convention right here in Philly (screw you, London!  You’re second, haha!).
Actually had Patrick Stewart sign it a month earlier at another convention he came to here in Philly, because he didn’t decide to attend (and thus make it the first 5 captain’s show ever) until just 2 weeks before hand.  LOL.
I’m honestly not sure why I did this buddy shot, other than I doubted few other people would bother getting such signed by both men.  Alan Ruck as the Enterprise-B’s Captain Harrimen, and William Shatner as of course, Captain James T. Kirk.

The second of my two 8x10 Kirk & Spock buddy shots.  This one is a little unique, because… this photo does not actually, technically, exist.  I made it, you see.  
How?  Why?
I really wanted a shot of the two of them from “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” which is the best of the original series films.  I went to great lengths to try and procure such, tracking down companies that sold old publicity stills from old movies, after having looked all over the internet and in all the books and magazines I had.  The closest I could really come was an iffy shot of them from the scene where they walk down the Academy corridor after the Kobayashi Maru scenario, when Spock gives Kirk his birthday gift.  And I just didn’t like the picture, the angle, the way Spock was in profile while Kirk wasn’t…
So in my searching, I did get a hold of this photo below of Kirk, Spock and McCoy.  Problem was, DeForest Kelley had by this time passed on nearly a decade earlier, and for an autograph hound like myself, having an ‘incomplete’ and impossible to complete photo is just painful.  So I decided to get creative.  And… this was the result.
It’s not too complicated, I basically just outlined Spock and moved him in closer to Kirk and then cropped it differently…

8x10 buddy shot of William Shatner as Captain Kirk and Joan Collins as Edith Keeler from perhaps the greatest episodes of the Original Series, “The City on the Edge of Forever”.  My friend Bill snagged these for us (one for him, one for me) at a book signing Collins was doing (in exchange for for paying a little extra money to sign something other than a book).  Then I got Shatner to sign them each for us the second time I met him in 2006.

One of two Kirk & Spock buddy shot 8x10s I have.  Signed by both at a convention the summer of 2007, just a few days after Nimoy had been at that years SDCC announcing Zachary Quinto as the nuSpock.  Photo is a black and white (obviously) vintage publicity still from “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” which while a pretty awful film, provided a lot of good photographs.  This was the third time I’d met Shatner and the second time I’d met Nimoy.

Weird photo of Bill Shatner in costume as Captain Kirk.  He looks older in this photo taken 15-odd years ago than he does in real life today.  I believe this was taken as part of the CD-ROM game “Starfleet Academy” in which he briefly reprises his role as Kirk.  George Takei and Walter Koenig also did so much more prominently.

I think McCoy should have kept the beard.  I wonder if De Kelley actually grew such or if it was just faked for the scene?
