Hey all! It's February, and that means new Rare Photos! Also some good news, just got a big haul of potential new source material. I've expanded my works in progress folders from a 6 months lead-time, to a full year, because I've confident I've got at least that much material. And as long as I keep finding more as I work on those articles for a year in advance, it'll just keep going.

So many good ones, I have trouble picking my favorites to highlight!
First row, right - I dub this photo of B'Elanna to be of "perfect" quality. It's rare to have absolute perfect quality photos, but when you do... you know it!
Second row, left - a rare season 3 DS9 publicity photo of Ben and Jake Sisko. It's done in the exact same style as the rest of that years PB photos, and was seen on-screen in "The Visitor" if I recall correctly.
Bottom row, left - Worf in Klingon regalia with a bit of a smile. It's so rare to see Worf smile.
Page two, second row, right - Shatner and Nichols share a laugh and a hug. Wish we had more photos like this, where the TOS crew was all friendly. Even if it apparently didn't last between takes, lol.
Fourth row, left - Until yesterday, this photo was title "mystery" Picard. Then I happened upon another photo in a Trek Magazine that, when you look closely, you can see the same corridor behind that photos subject, Brent Spiner as Data. The conclusion? A third variation of publicity photos taken for the film Insurrection.
Fourth row, right - Rare TWOK publicity photo of Jimmy Doohan in radiation suit. I recently got ahold of this (autographed) through the folks at Star Trek: Of Gods and Men. (They had a deal, buy an autograph, get the DVD - and I'd never seen this Jimmy Doohan photo before, so...)
Fifth row, right - Starfleet Academy or TV Guide? We debated that point over another photo of the Shat wearing an oddly cut collar with his SF uniform. Now it's round two, lol. I dubbed it TVGuide, but... it's up for debate.
Which (of all of them) are your favorites? Always curious to hear that -- rarely do I find my favorites match up with all of you!

Not sure I remember the "HMS Bounty" painted in the background, but it's been a while.
