Current Talk '17 II / Need Help Finding Barnabas Photos!
« on: August 13, 2017, 10:31:27 PM »
Hey, everybody, I could use some help for a project I've been planning for a long time on which I am currently working. I am going through a bunch of old pictures making a wall project about my family and our favorite things and will include some movies and TV shows. Some I have had no problem finding a good clear image of a cast photo or particular scene which can be printed. Prefer color but if black-and-white is too stark I can make it sepia, but I have had particular problems with Dark Shadows.
A really stunning picture of Jonathan Frid as Barnabas is essential! He was my main and first love so it must be as perfect as possible. Trouble is, most stills are either too campy, in black-and-white, or both. Most screen captures, although they give more of a feel of the series, are way too blurry and indistinct to make for good prints. Also, I don't know why but I've noticed this problem with Jonathan. Although he had the most beautiful eyes, many pictures have him with eyes closed or near-closed, looking down, eyes or some other part of the face in shadow, or face in profile--none of which I want. I don't know whether this is because Jonathan being tall was used to looking down, the way the set was lit, Jonathan was trying to be dramatic rather than hammy by looking up too much, or what. Anyhow, I'll post some examples of what I found and how it compares to what I want and maybe someone can help me. Thanks.
Something like this would be totally awesome if it were in color:
