Welcome to Castle Photography

(Updated 21st April 2013)

Official Photos from Culture Shock Events Lords of Time: Brisbane and First Contact Conventions Lords of Time: Melbourne are now online. General photos from both these events can be found at: First Contact Photos

This site hosts Official Photos with Guests from First Contact Conventions, Armageddon in Australia, and Best of Both Worlds events. Reprints of these photos are available for sale, either online, or you can approach me at any event I attend to get on the spot reprints.

For a number of reasons I've had to split my photo archive into two blocks - official photos for which we must control reprints, and all other images taken at events, which are freely available. If you are interested in all the other photos I've taken at these and other events, you may find my others websites interesting. They include: Pete's Fan Photos, First Contact Photos, and Armageddon Photos

As usual please email me if I spelt your name wrong, or if you can tell me the names of people in any photos.

To contact me, send an email to: . Or ring anytime in the afternoon or evening on (+61 3) 9736 9568

Alan Ruck at the Astor Cinema and Geelong

You know him from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and many other films. You also know him from Spin City. In fact if you look through your DVD cabinet you might be suprised how many of your fave's he's played a part in...

Alan's visit to Melbourne was something of a whirlwind. Press appearances and interviews on Friday, Signings and Q&As all day at the Astor on Saturday (plus the showing of Star trek Generations and Ferris Bueller's Day Off), and a half day event at Geelong on Sunday to finish the weekend!
