From the movies listed on the theater marque, this image was taken in the late summer or fall of 1951. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MooresLaw (talk • contribs) 23:50, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Great Pictures

You've been Dugg. I've just been going through your contributions, and I must say, the photos your Dad took are amazing. I love looking at them! (Corby 07:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Metropolitan cathedral

Hi F64too. I had deleted the picture of the Metropolitan cathedral since, if you have Internet Explorer (any version) you might find that it alters the layout of the sections (mainly the Sports section which includes a huge blank space). This is not the case if you use Firefox, but only 30% of Internet users use Firefox. I deleted the Metropolitan cathedral picture and not another one for three reasons: (1) it was the last to be added, (2) it is not crucial for a better understanding of the content of the article [as a matter of fact none of the pics is crucial] and (3) it is an old 1950s picture, not a recent one, which would more accurately portray today's landmarks.

If you strongly oppose the deletion for academic reasons, and not merely aesthetic ones, I propose that we include the picture in the History section, which has enough space and therefore it will not alter the layout by including blank spaces. Moreover, being a 50+ year old picture, I believe it would be the appropriate section for it. Notwithstanding my proposal, I still do not see the crucial need to add the picture. Let me know what you think.

Oh, I am sorry. I see that you had already done precisely what I was proposing by putting the pic in the history section. Like the saying goes... "Great minds think alike". Cheers! --the dúnadan 18:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey this is in Manitou Springs, but I'm sure you figured that out. I've been importing some of your photos onto commons, noticed some are already there. They're going exactly as-is, w/ your attributes, names, & lic info.

BTW those names are cumbersom, can they be changed? I know you want the attributes, but those are in the photo info... Grye 00:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK so keep original names, I'm gathering. Cool.

A note though, from a (once) network engineer: you should really stay away from punctuation of any kind, of course / ? etc are illegal names, but on some servers commas confuse them too. for instance:

"Aspen , 1962 , Kodachrome by Chalmers Butterfield"

isn't good, if for no other reason than it comes out as

"Aspen_%2C_1962_%2C_Kodachrome_by_Chalmers_Butterfield.jpg"

And "Aspen_,_1962_,_Kodachrome_by_Chalmers_Butterfield"

Alternately. better would be

Aspen_1962_Kodachrome_by_Chalmers_Butterfield

Cool, whatevs, just suggesting... thanks Grye 02:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture upload to Commons

Hey, I am writing an article about SAS Airline. Would you please be so kind and upload your "Image:Douglas DC 6 , SAS , SE-BDC , Kodachrome by Chalmers Butterfield.jpg" picture to Commons so that I can use it in the German Wiki as well. Thanks --60.51.92.210 06:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POTD notification

Hi, just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:London , Kodachrome by Chalmers Butterfield edit.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on December 27, 2007. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-12-27. I was thinking of changing the accent of the caption to reflect this early Kodachrome work, which I think is more notable. Do you have any details of the format and/or processing lab he used?

Incidentally, I've been meaning to suggest you put your ballooning shot up for FPC. It probably needs some gentle noise reduction which I'd be happy to do for you, if you like. Whatever, it's one of my top 20 favourite shots on Wikipedia.. you really have your father's eye :o) --mikaul^talk 09:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

London Photographs

Your father's colour shots of London are excellent, do you have any more?

I write for a publisher who is very interested in reproducing some (all?) in a book.

The image taken in 1949 showing a bus in Sloane Street Knightsbridge references the bus as a Routemaster. This is impossible, as the first Routemaster bus was built in 1954! See here: [[1]] The buses might be RT's (Regent Three's) but I am not 100% sure. This link leads to the image I am referencing: [[2]] Spsmiler (talk) 23:50, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Convair 240 transfer

Hi F64too, File:Convair 240 , KLM , PH-TEB , Kodachrome by Chalmers Butterfield.jpg has been transfered to Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Convair 240, KLM PH-TEB, Kodachrome by Chalmers Butterfield.jpg. The file retains the license and permissions that you uploaded them under however a minor change has been made to the names so as to fit in with Commons naming conventions.Images on Commons can be used in exactly the same way as images loaded directly to en:wikipedia with the important addition that the images can now be used by any sister wiki. To allow this the images have to be free to use which is what you have granted with the addition of the GDFL licence. If you are happy to continue making your images free under the GDFL licence its worth considering using Commons for your future uploads, with SUL you've probably already have an account with Commons, and the upload and editing process there is pretty much the same as it is here. Thank you for sharing your father's pictures they are real gems and for me especially, those of my home city, London. KTo288 (talk) 20:05, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
