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.

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?

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.
