My image gallery

These are photographs that I've taken and have added to Wikipedia articles. There are not many - other people have beaten me to it, in most cases.

Carole Lombard's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame taken August 1995.
Myrna Loy's contribution to the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theatre taken August 1995.
The main facade of the building where Anne Frank and her family hid during the Second World War, in Amsterdam. Photo taken August 2002.
Statue of Anne Frank, near the Westerkerk, which is also near Anne Frank House. Taken in August 2002.
Front entrance to Auschwitz concentration camp, photo taken September 2002.
Ruins at Auschwitz concentration camp, taken on the same day as previous photo.
onto something a bit happier. I love this photo of jacaranda trees in bloom, in Wooroolin, Queensland, Australia. Taken October 22, 2005
more blooming jacarandas in the backyard of some very good friends of mine. October 22, 2005
Peanut silos in Kingaroy, Queensland, love the blue sky of an Australian summer! October 22, 2005
View from a Kingaroy vineyard looking into the Burnett Valley, Kingaroy, Australia. October 22, 2005

Other images

I can't claim credit for any of these images, just finding and uploading them. Some are lovely, and one is bizarre. What do you give the girl who has everything?

Brisbane born actress Diane Cilento. Weird connection - her parents, Sir Raphael and Lady Phyllis Cilento are buried next to my father, so any time I see Diane Cilento in a film (which is not that often), I think "oh, there she is". Watching The Wicker Man recently, I found her distracting for this reason.
John Wayne visited my home town during World War II. I wasn't around to see it, but this photograph was taken within walking distance of where I grew up.
Gary Cooper also visited, with Phyllis Brooks and Una Merkel
Sybil Thorndike

Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh

Pictures from their 1948 visit to Brisbane.

Screenshots and such

These are public domain screenshots that I have found and uploaded, and my total Commons upload history can be viewed here here. There are quite a few of them but I'll just a highlight a few that I quite like.

two of my favourite performers, Fredric March and Carole Lombard in one of my favourite films, Nothing Sacred (1937)
and again. Carole deserves at least two pictures.
Marilyn Monroe in The Prince and the Showgirl (1957). A beautiful image of her not looking like a sex-pot.

Marilyn Monroe in The Prince and the Showgirl (1957). A beautiful image of her not looking like a sex-pot.
Jo Van Fleet in East of Eden (1955). A memorable performance, and a nice menacing image.
Roland Young in Topper Returns. The original Topper was a better film, but I like this image.
Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice. I don't even like Lana Turner, but again, it's the picture I like.
Thelma Ritter - what a face! And what a great performer.
Frances Langford - a bit Venus de Milo, but mighty purty.
Agnes Moorehead, a favourite.
Marion Martin - this image encapsulates for me, all the minor forgotten thirties musicals that had such style.
