Hi everybody,
I have a question and I’m hoping for some advice. I got the idea from Mike Yuhas’s website but I would like to do something a little different than he did. I would like to start a website, where I could display my railfan pictures so people could view them, leave comments and constructive criticism. Does that seem like a good idea or not? I think this might be something that I would have fun doing and could possibly help improve my photography/web design skills. Thank you for your imput, I appreciate it.

Hi (your name here),
It would probably be easier and equally rewarding to create your own Contributor’s Site @ http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/ like I did and many other members here have. Everything you’re looking for in a personal website, completely customizable to your own taste without the hassles and expenses of building your own website.
Here are a couple of links to Charles Freericks’ (Erie Lackawanna) and my Contributor’s Sites, let us know what you think and if this is what you had in mind.

You might also try this one too. It’s a photography website, but there is plenty to be learned from the forums, and members can leave constructive criticism and comments.

Hey trainster1073,
Let me know if any of those sites work for you…I’m kind of interested now too.

flickr has a lot of special interest groups from the very broad to the extremely specialized dealing with railroad subjects. You might check them out too.
