Calling all art-loving Trekkies: Leonard Nimoy is celebrating Halloween by taking pictures of the most crazily outfitted attendee at the Santa Monica Museum of Art’s Halla Gala.

Nimoy, who has practiced fine art photography since the age of 14, is offering a private portrait session at the Viceroy Santa Monica hotel to whomever wins the gala’s Secret Self costume contest.

The museum fund-raiser will feature a preview of photographs culled from Nimoy’s Secret Selves exhibition, slated to open next summer at New England’s Mass MoCA.

If you want to pay to have the original Spock snap your picture rather than depending on the brilliance of your costume, Nimoy’s photographic services are also included in the museum’s $5,000-and-up prize packages.

Tickets for the Oct. 31 Halla Gala begin at $350 and can be purchased online, by phone (310-586-6488 x116) or by e-mail.
