Right now every photo on eSpeedZone is a stock image. None of them show my gear, and each one is labelled as stock where it appears. As I build and photograph each rig, real photos replace them and the label changes to green.
Attribution isn’t strictly required by either licence below. It’s here because taking someone’s work and not naming them is a poor way to run anything.
