eric friedemann Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 You want "plain strange," listen to this hilarious Nimoy rendition of "Proud Mary": http://www.fadetoblack.com/hallofshame/index1.html#ln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Well...sheesh! They're not taken by "Spock" the logical Vulcan character in the Star Trek stories...they're taken by Leonard Nimoy...the actor. Like his book is entitled: "I am not Spock." I kinda like the images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbing Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Actually it is a series based on the Jewish mystical concept of the Shekina or the "Divine Presence" which is generally described in feminine terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerrySiegel Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I like some of his work with figures. They are not trite. The use of phylacteries and prayer shawls is different,at least I haven't seen this. And it is a fair response to anyone who might thin life ends after Star Trek Generations,or ST V. And the nihilist comments that pop up ever so often. And by the way,Leonard Nimoy is a Jewish kid from the old West End section of Boston where I grew up. A local hero. A serious actor despite the ear prostheses. And now an artist in late life,and a sponsor of artists too. I give him credit. And heck,notice his gallery charges jsut $55.00 for a print of the cover piece. Even I can afford that..Matthew,I too find some fascinating. Some strange.And the hand series empty of anything I can get into. About the average ratio,and better than my own sums. Be well, Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_s._schwartz Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 In all honesty, the title of this thread was only meant to get peoples' attention. :-) I like the photos a lot, and I am very pleased to see what a good photographer Nimoy is. the shots are creative, artistic, and imaginative -- completely opposite from the traditional notions of logic and rationality, I'd say. I like em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewkane Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Yea they are pretty cool. I don't think the images are so weird. What's weird is that w ho would have thought Spock would go on to be a nude photographer? That's kind of s trange. Other than that they are neat.

GerrySiegel Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Leonard had a TV career beyond Spock. I remember him for one example in the mini series as husband of Ingrid Bergman's character study of Golda Meir. Leonard now does some commercial with his old co star from Trek. Of the two,the Spock character was by far the least "strange."and most well liked. Never saw Leonard in any National Inquirer either,seems to have led a normal life for LA. I know he has given to many causes. Happy to see that he joins us in a passion for photography,with nudes being no great surprise. Art is art. Nudes are great,especially when not tritely posed,right? Be well,live long,and remember what mama says prune juice and bran muffins daily, GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerrySiegel Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Just one clarification to my last. I would not want my Science Officer running around the bridge saying" Oh my God,we are doomed if we don't get those dilithium crystals working in two minutes." Thus,not strange,except the ears,which he hated,by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cálico Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 C'mon, he DID look "cool," didn't he? And he also set the norm for future Vulcan characters! Yeah, live long and prosper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berniek Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I like his photographs better than his acting. Noticed that a local gallery represents him, so I'll drop by to see what they look like on paper as opposed to the monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Herbert Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Very nice, he has a good eye. However, is it an ageing actor thing to be obsessed by the female form? Maybe you should move on in your photography. Have a go at some street stuff ,Leonard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerrySiegel Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Did someone above really assert that it is "an aging actor thing" to be photo-passionate about the female form and work a lot with nudity? Allen,Allen,you are pulling our leg out of its socket..Street photography, if it floats ya boat,go ahead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Gerry Siegel (Honolulu), are you any relation to George Siegal? Like you he used to work on a boat. He was a cook. All those young eager starlets....thats what it's about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grain Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Nice eggs, Leonard. I think he's pushing in the right direction. He's been around long enough that I'll not presume to critique his motivation. Looks like beauty to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
