My "real" Wikipedia home page is en:User:Jmabel. I check my user page on both the English Wikipedia and Commons relatively often; I can also be reached by the "Email this user" feature (which does require that you open an account and provide your own email address to Wikimedia Foundation; you don't have to enable the "Email this user" feature for your own account).
As of 25 November 2009, I am an administrator on Commons. However, I try not to spend a lot of my time here on administrative tasks.

I find this very useful & recommend it highly. w:Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates#Is my monitor calibrated correctly?

[edit] Snoqualmie Moondance, 1992
I finally acquired a decent scanner in 2007, and have been uploading some of my old 35mm photos. These were taken at a festival just east of Snoqualmie Pass, Washington in 1992. These are all quite hi-res; more than on most, I recommend clicking through.

[edit] Seattle and the Orient
I've been uploading page images (and extracted photographic images) of a rather remarkable 1900 booklet called Seattle and the Orient. Amazing stuff. (The "and the Orient" in the title is mostly a business pitch.)
[edit] Other old Seattle stuff
The Seattle Room at the Seattle Public Library is an another great resource. Among the many things I've found there are:
|
Seattle's first (horesdrawn) street car at Occidental Avenue and Yesler Way, about 1884. The view is across Pioneer Square. The building in the background stood on the present site of the Mutual Life Building at First Avenue and Yesler Way. The building on the right was the Occidental Hotel, destroyed in the Great Fire (1889), replaced by the and the Seattle Hotel (which was demolished in 1961 and replaced by the "Sinking Ship" car park. |
