Gary Hutzel is one of the coolest guys on the planet. When we were finished with Trial and Tribble-ations, he set up to take these beautiful large format images. Left to right: Anthony Fredrickson, Mike Okuda, me, Jimmy Vanover, special guest artist Casey Bernay, and John Eaves. Neezee, where were you that day? Gary joins us in image three.
Mike Okuda looks like he was shot as a separate element and composited into the first two photos.
He was there!
One of my favorite Deep Space Nine episodes. I was very impressed with the Enterprise as well as Deep Space Station K-7. Thanks for sharing the photos.
He’s way too consistent!
I can’t find any obvious differences.
Obviously bad CG! Not photorealistic at all!
(Actually, he smiles a tad more in the second photo.)
Where’s Greg Jein!
You can’t see him?
after seeing so many of these photos of you in these remarkable environments i just can’t help but think of Zelig for some reason
how lucky you were to not only be there but also be someone who truly appreciated the entire experience.
….and loving it.

Aurore, My makeup partner John Caglilone did all of Woody’s makeups in Zelig!
Doug: Denise was home that day, or she would have been there.
Cool models, and a lot of work! I was wondering if you have any pics and insights into the two ship/shuttle models seen inside the bay of K-7? There is the pic from directly in front on one of the dvd-sets, but I would like to see more. The spacematic was a great little ship that deserves attention!
Oh man!!! Got to LOVE TOS Enterprise!
I now hate you with the heat of a nova.
Damn, I envy you guys and gals..what a job that must have been….Nice Pictures.
Great pics!
Where’s the K-7 Model today?
Awesome!
I was actually wondering where both models are…
Icons of (Science-Fiction)TV creativity standing amidst of two science-fictions items, which I assume influenced some of the aforementioned icons to walk the professional path they went. And, although the design those two science-fictions items itself was 30(?) 35(?) years old at the time those pictures were taken, it yet did not look outdated.
What those NBC bosses would have done in 1969, if they could have seen those pictures? Maybe there would have been more TOS seasons. But who knows if that would have been good for the whole franchise? Maybe those three seasons were just the right amount of episodes to create that loyal fan base, yet leave them wishing and asking for more and thus paving the way for the planned Phase II, ST:TMP, TNG, DS9 etc.
Just my thoughts for the night.
Cheers

Man. You were there. You were part of that amazing people that made us travel through space every week.
You’ve certainly stashed a lot of good karma in previous lives and you are spending a good deal of it on this one.
And the good thing is that you’ve found the time and the energy to share it with us!
Your page has become a pleasant obligation for me on a daily basis. There’s always a surprise, a discovery, even a thing or two to smile about…
Thank you so very much for this.
I hope you’ll never run out of stories and you archives never dry.
You make me feel like I’m a little there too, with all of you, in what I imagine is the best job in the entire world (besides rock star, of course).
I wish you’d find time to visit my two blogs, one dedicated to Star Trek and the other of a more artistic nature, and leave a coment if you like. They are my hobbie, my quantum of solace, unfortunately not my job, but I have a really good time doing them (and, dare I say so, I’m not completely bad at it).
Anyway, thanks again for sharing your experiencies in the production world of Sci-Fi TV with us.
All the best for you.
Gustavo! Thanks for the very kind words! Being the fans that we are, we represented everyone who couldn’t be there! I still have stuff in my stash to share, and I take great joy in sharing it with you! – Doug
Love the 2nd photo. A good laugh after a hard day’s work.
Great photos! Looking at these pictures, do you find yourself missing those days?
I loved the DS9 homage to a beloved TOS episode.
Wonderful pics. The detail is superb. They’re reminiscent of the astronaut photos NASA released in the 60’s and 70’s where the crew would be seen in the photo with a model of their spacecraft (ex: http://tinyurl.com/aqpsdm, http://tinyurl.com/bthosf). Too bad a photo with the IKS Groth (or is it Gr’oth?) couldn’t be included.
Nice…, I guess…, *if* you like that sort of thing…, I guess…
*ducks while running away* RUN AWAaaaY… RUN AWAAAAY…!
Kiddin’ aside, ultra-coolness, and sO nice to see a big new E prac once again with her proper make-up (paint-job) on.

Oh, not ta mention the K-7. I gotta do a .5 version of that at some point…
And thanks, Doug, aka BTS Jezebel.

To paraphrase The Joker, “where do you get those wonderful toys?” Those are astonishingly cool pics.
Fab photos and great Blog !!!
There’s something about these pictures that gets me emotional. I can’t think of a better class photo than this one, except for the fact that Greg Jein is also absent. Apart from Mr. Sternbach (and no doubt others), this is the team that recreated Star Trek for me, and made it better. All my admiration, gratitude, and sincere affection to you folks.
I’d display image #3 on my wall if I had a high-enough resolution copy of it to make a good print out of. Inspiration.
