This page is a partial listing of those took the pictures that are on this website. Why only partial? Simple. I don't know the photographers for all of the pictures. I'll post names and pictures of the photographers here when I have them.
Meanwhile, I'll start with me because some of my pictures are now posted on the site, and because I'm doing the selecting, editing, Photoshopping (to get rid of the worst of the scratches, fogged film and other horrors), I'm posting a picture of me to start the page. Simple, without me, none of this website would be here. The whole website, including the programming, is my work.
Jimmy Chisholm got a second hand camera in 1906. This kind of camera is a big square box (more than a foot in each direction) and the film was held in wood & metal carriers. He cut the film into squares himself and each picture had to be taken separately and the camera loaded and unloaded after each picture. Most photos were taken on sheet film that ranged from 2x3 to about 3x4. He did his own processing, and kept the photos in letter envelopes in a shoebox. While this is better than lots of kinds of storage facilities, it still wasn't ideal.
His son, Jack Chisholm, took more photos with more kinds of cameras. And stored the big negatives in envelopes in shoe boxes, the slides in slots in varnished boxes and metal boxes, the 35mm negatives rolled up in little square holes in drawers or cut into strips and laid flat into envelopes.
The photo is of Jack Chisholm with his camera taken by Lawrence Moore in July 1930 when he and Jack hiked up Mount Si and stayed over night so they could be there for dawn. (Note: this photo was NOT retouched.)
Jean was a daughter of Jimmy Chisholm and therefore learned some photography. She took several of the photos on the Patterson Creek pages.
She took photos of her home & family & where she went to school (University of Puget Sound in Tacoma)& then of her husband and children after she got married to Jack Chisholm.
Pete Anderson lived in the hills above Fall City in the early 1900s. He mostly took photos of his own farm and the trips he went on.
There's many more photographers whose works are/will be on this website. With luck, I'll find photos of them taking photos and post them here.
Haven't yet posted photos of these photographers: Lawrence Moore
Photographers who took the pictures on this page (my best guess at who, mostly): Lawrence Moore (Jack on Mount Si at dawn), Jack Chisholm (Jimmy Chisholm with Laird), Jimmy Chisholm (Jean Chisholm with cow), unknown professional photographer (Pete Anderson), Jack Chisholm (Irene Whitfield Chisholm), Will McCafferty (Rowan Chisholm)
