Your user page says:

I am currently hired by the Paul Beattie Estate to research his work for a website, and believe that his career warrants a Wikipedia entry.

Got it. But Beattie didn't take the photograph of himself. Did you take it?

As for File:Structured Space.jpg and the other work by Beattie, I can understand that you're authorized to attach a copyleft license to these, but being so authorized doesn't mean that either is your "own work". I suggest that you edit the entries for each on Commons before somebody (i) spots the oddity of a Mr Hahn declaring that he was the author of works that even he is attributing to a Mr Beattie and (ii) nominates them both for deletion. -- Hoary (talk) 01:15, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

@Hoary: Many thanks for your time and notes here — they are much appreciated! I have edited these entries to correctly attribute them.--Douglas.hahn (talk) 01:58, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Good . . . but your next task at Commons is convincing readers that copyrights perhaps (but not necessarily) belonging to the Quicksilver Mine Co, The Calabi Gallery, and the Paul Beattie Estate have passed to you, or that you're authorized to do this or that. (Tip: "OTRS".) Welcome to the copyright/left rabbit-hole! -- Hoary (talk) 02:48, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
