Special Collections, University of Washington Libraries John Stamets photographs Stamets, John, 1949- PH2016-002 157.81 cubic feet 157.81 cubic feet plus 1 oversize folder containing photographic prints, negatives, slides and textual materials; 174 boxes and 3 tubes approximately 1970s-2000s Photographs made by John Stamets who documented architecture and construction around Seattle, Nicaraguan circuses, Filipino cannery workers, the Rat City Roller girls roller derby team, the collapse of the Husky Stadium and other activities Collection materials are in English.

Mr. Stamets was born on April 18, 1949, in Ithaca, N.Y., and grew up in Columbiana, Ohio. Following family tradition, he attended prep school at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania. After graduating from Yale University in 1971, he moved to Seattle in the early 1970s to study neurophysiology at the UW.

But he had already acquired the photography bug at Yale, where he had a chance to study with legendary photographer Walker Evans.

"John was a force of nature," his brother, Paul, said. "He inspired me on my path into the field of mycology, after his travels to Mexico and Colombia in pursuit of magic mushrooms."

Back in Seattle, Mr. Stamets drove a cab for several years, taking pictures of his passengers. He also was a photographer for the Seattle Sun, an alternative weekly.

He was most famous for capturing the 1987 collapse of Husky Stadium on camera — a photo he then sold as a nine-shot panoramic postcard titled "Gravity 1, UW 0."

In 1988, he began shooting the construction of large building projects in downtown Seattle as the city underwent one of its periodic building booms. "I realized it was going to be a very significant time in the city's history," he told The Seattle Times in 1992, "comparable to the Denny Regrade." (The bus tunnel, downtown Seattle Art Museum and five skyscrapers were all under construction.)

In 1992, he joined the UW faculty, where he ran the Architecture Photo Lab. He also became involved in a federal program documenting important historical buildings. His collaborator Susan Boyle, of Boyle Wagoner Architects, noted that more than 350 of his photographs are in the Library of Congress's Historic American Buildings Survey and the Historic American Engineering Record Collection.

There was little that could stop him from getting the shot he wanted, Boyle said. He even rented the Monorail so he could see into the EMP Museum site during construction, having the driver stop at the best vantage points and open the doors.

A more recent obsession was the Rat City Rollergirls. "In March 2013 I fell down the rabbit hole into modern roller derby," he said. "I saw it once, and I never left."

He died the weekend of June 7-8, at age 65, of an apparent heart attack.

Photographs made by John Stamets. The majority of photographs in this collection either document the construction of large building projects in downtown Seattle (including the Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Central Library, EMP, Seattle Art Museum, and others), or are part of the Library of Congress's Historic American Buildings Survey and the Historic American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER), which document achievements in architecture and engineering in the United States through a comprehensive range of building types and engineering technologies (Stamets' HABS/HAER photographs document the Henry Art Gallery, Fox Theater, Longacres racetrack, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and others). Photographs also document Pike Place Market and events at Seattle's Kingdome in the 1980s, as well as other subjects, including Nicaraguan circuses, Filipino cannery workers, the Rat City Roller girls roller derby team, and Seattle taxi passengers in the 1970s.
