Rare Photos Stocking Stuffers 2013

"Beware Romulans bearing gifts..."

Well after an unanticipated and abrupt 5 month absence, Rare Photos is returning. Though regretfully it will be at a lesser pace than previously.

A chronic health issue of mine, combined with an ever dwindling variety in terms of raw resources, means that while I'll be resuming regular publication, it will be at a reduced bi-monthly rate.

I couldn't let the year end though without a little gift for everyone in the form of the annual stocking stuffers mini-edition.

As you know, stocking stuffers are so named because they're photos that are too modest in pixel size to warrant inclusion in a full issue. But that doesn't mean they're not neat to look at.

Of special notice is the first photo of this years edition. It's an extraordinarily rare alternate cast photo from Star Trek VI.

As for the next regular issue... I'm thinking of picking up with January of 2014. Meaning the schedule after that is March, May, July, September, November and then of course, Stocking Stuffers in December.

Now if anyone happens to be sitting on a treasure trove of behind the scenes or otherwise rare photos from DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise... (as well as a cure for my health issues!) let me know and maybe we can go back to monthly.

 

Some nice shots. I've always loved that shot of Shatner laughing. I like the shot of the guys playing chess, too. As always thanks for sharing. I'm sorry to hear about your health. I hope it improves.

 

Welcome back but take care of yourself! Favorites are the Saavik/David pic, the Nimoy. and the chess pic!

 

Third row centre - I love the one of Gates McFadden

 

Who's the elderly Vulcan lady?

Great photos, as always, and thank you!

 

Here's a larger version of the TUC cast photo on the photographer's site:

Spiner looks like he's about to punch McFadden in the face.

 

Thank you. I`m glad you are back with "Rare Photos".
And thank you that there are also some Voyagerpics out there.
I most like the one on the first row right.Jery Ryan laughing!

 

Thank You for your post. Great pictures and Merry Christmas.

 

That one is actually a slightly different shot, but close!

 

So good to see this make a comeback, and best wishes with your health!

 

I hope your health improves. Take care.

Great shots, I especially liked the Locutus pic.

 

Have a happy and HEALTHY 2014. Thanks for the pictures - always great to see.

 

You were missed. Welcome back and best wishes for health and happiness in 2014!

 

Great to see these again. Hope the New Year brings you stable health and many photos.

 

Thanks for the great pictures, and all the BEST for 2014!!!

 

That Sally Kellerman really gets my motor running. Thanks Frontier.

 

I don't know how I missed this.

Your contributions have been missed, Frontier. A very Happy New Year to you and here is wishing for you a very healthy 2014 and beyond.
