About Me

This gives background to the motivation in creating this site…

Photographer / Petrolhead / Mortgage Broker

 Stuart Brown

This website was created following the decision by one of the commercial photo gallery sites to start charging $399 per year.

Overnight this meant that very many forums and other shopping sites simply stopped showing the images within their threads/marketing pages….there was also literally zero warning to this happening, the first I knew about it was when a thread on a car forum showed a stock ‘you need to upgrade’ image instead of the desired photograph….it has completely ruined many threads on many forums as a result.

I thought it was time to create my own site to collect and show off some of my amateur photos instead of paying a 3rd party to host these (and continue to be at the mercy of whomever I used, should they wish to change policy/pricing/upload limits etc in the future).. i.e my aim is to create my own website at a known cost and with the creative freedom to make the structure of the site as I wished (and change it in the future if I felt like it too!)

So here it is, at the time of writing (mid 2017) it is in its infancy and I am on a journey in which I hope to learn the basics (and in time more advanced options) relating to WordPress (I had not even uploaded the WP files to a site before, let alone chosen and activated sliders, widgets and themes etc!). This is the second page and I still currently have the homepage to sort so that it doesn’t show stock ‘example’ images…wish me luck, any help or feedback would be gratefully received ?
