The photos have returned

Nov 22nd, 2007 | By Brian Leon | Category: Photogallery, Photography

I have finally managed to rework the photogallery that uses Flickr as its source. You can see the results on the Snaps gallery which is also found in the navigation sidebar area.

It functions a bit differently this time. Because of the caching issues I had before, not all of the galleries and images will load at the same time. Instead, the album list is paged at five at a time and the images are also paged so many at a time.

Another major difference is how the images are displayed. Each album will display a thumbnail representation of the image but clicking the thumbnail will display a popup window that showcases the image while dimming the background page. This popup is based on the popular Lightbox javascript technology. On each image clicking the image will advance the photo but moving the cursour to either side of the photo will display navigation arrows that will allow advancing or going back in the list of photos.

The photos themselves are of the medium size that is the standard size for all Flickr photos displayed on the site.

There will be a more formal gallery that will be available soon which will just highlight the more interesting of my photography in a better format for presentation. That site may be available sometime later this weekend.
