Hello, I’m Ben
I’m an amateur photographer and I created this website as a place to put my photos as an alternaive to social media. I do other things too like radio and electronics as well and it’s nice to have a public space to share any interesting projects. I’m a systems administrator for a living and this place also serves as a test bed for various projects and ideas.
Social media had a good run. In the early days when it was swimming in VC funding and there was no advertising it was an intereresting place. It’s always had it’s problems like spammers, bots and scams but it was a great place to meet like minded people. As soon as the VC funding dried up things started to go down hill and writing this in early 2025 I feel like it’s pretty much hit rock bottom. I just coldn’t tolerate those places any more but missed having somewhere to share the pictures I take. It’s not so social here in that there’s no way to comment and react but you can always drop me an email via the form on the Contact ME page. I’m also on Signal but I don’t use that a huge ammount but feel free to send me message.
I’m not sure what I’ll post here or how often but it’s nice to have a space to do that.
