There you go. No one thought of that until at
least 1960.



Years ago I saw some outtakes. In one the doors didn't open. Most of the
cast thought it funny. The Captain didn't think so.

Since we were discussing Star Trek, and this is a photography group, I
thought these two quotes right on topic.
"For a period of time, I carried cameras with me wherever I went, and
then I realized that my interest in photography was turning toward the
conceptual. So I wasn't carrying around cameras shooting stuff, I was
developing concepts about what I wanted to shoot. And then I'd get the
camera angle and do the job. Leonard Nimoy"

"Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and
white... to highlight that contrast. Leonard Nimoy"

That is another reason I like my Fujifilm X-Series MILC’s.

If you read closer, you will see that his statements, when read
together, show that he used his photography as an expression of his
spiritualism.

Not when they are being paid for the appearance. And the fans are making
a generous donation to a charity.
BTW I used to represent entertainers. Most thought it beneath them to
charge for an autograph. They either declined, or gave one free. I don't

I went to ST convention and most of the stars you had to pay for their autographs and pay for the part where they stand on stage and answer questions.
Depending on who they were the cost was set, some were free but most cost money, I only went to the free ones.
But this wasn't a charity event.

I specifically was talking about charitable fund raisers.

yes when they're being paid for the appearance.

i've been to several cons and paying for autographs and/or photos is
standard fare.

the lines are long, so few people find it to be an issue.

BTW I used to represent entertainers. Most thought it beneath them to
charge for an autograph. They either declined, or gave one free. I don't

personal experience is my source.

You go to charitable events where the donation is between $500 and
$1,000 per person, and then paid for an autograph?
I have difficulty believing that.


Oh I don't know you should check out the presidents club.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...s-club-scandal

And what does that have to do with charging for autographs at fund
raisers. Or, do you equate groping at fund raisers, with charging for
autographs.
On second thought, maybe there is a moral equivalence between unwanted
groping and charging for autographs at charitable fund raisers.

I am still in Cape Town. I arrive home on March 8.

I feel a bit silly, as very little of my time has been behind a camera, and
I came loaded with two cameras, and a bunch of lenses. I have a good
opportunity tomorrow to grab some shots. With any luck I should get a
keeper or two.

I prefer autographs on personal checks. Don't really care much about
who signs on as long as the bank honor them... :-ppp

What has autographs got to do with fund raising for charity.


Read the thread.

Or, do you equate groping at fund raisers, with charging for

Pretty much yes.

On second thought, maybe there is a moral equivalence between unwanted
groping and charging for autographs at charitable fund raisers.


What's meant by unwanted groping unwanted by who ?
Don't forget the charity who was going to gain over 1/2 million quid is still trying to decide whether or not they should give the money back.
