The surname name Brown is not one that can be considered rare, and as you might expect there are many Alan Brown's in the world. Even within photography, a search will yield many results.
I am amused by one hit in particular, which offers a very similar Facebook member name as myself, but with a slightly different spelling (alanbrownphotograpy as opposed to -aphy). His Facebook page lists the same user name as mine (Alan Brown Photography), but his work is, let's say of a slightly different nature.
That got me thinking - have you come across instances where you have followed a link to see the work of one artist, only to find something completely different due to a minor spelling variation?
I'd love to know if there are some real howlers out there, that may amuse the group and perhaps be worthy of a new blog entry.....)
Here's a link to the site in question - I promise that this is NOT my alter ego ;-)
That is quite interesting. **Smiles**, wow. Can't say I've run into that issue myself.
I can possibly see why, Mr Svelnys!
Then there's Instagram search for myself:

Which reminds me. The very first email address I was assigned was DWilson226@gnn.com, back with Global Net Navigator (GNN before it was inhaled by AOL in the mid 1990's.) Every single provider (personal, not business) since I have chosen the to keep the "226".
Ha, don't get me started on IG. There's even an 'alanbrown' account there owned by an Alan Garcia!
Wow, not only an Alan, but also a Brown, AND a photographer. That's pretty interesting. No other Jennifer + Wise + photographers from a quick search. Lol!
There IS a Jenny Wise Photography on IG though (@jwisephotography) - you are not alone!
You're right! I didn't see that one. This was a fun thread. Thanks for starting it.
Thanks Jennifer. I enjoy discussions within the group and always appreciate your perspective.
