Decided to tackle cataloging several GB of photos taken with various cameras, dates, and locations, relating to many subjects. How to do this? Let's experiment with tools and techniques, and see what we find most useful and interesting.
This is the starting point of the photo gallery (Mootools script in ExpressionEngine)
This uses the EE Gallery module. You can add descriptions of each photo, and add description fields as needed, but it's still a bit goofy to me. I want to try creating a normal EE blog as a photoblog, with all the attendant built-in great EE weblog stuff. Or in 2.0 as I hear it's channels not blogs...
BTW, the primary aim with the blog photo project is is publish many photos on the blog. The secondary aim is to ask: What does it mean to publish photos on the blog? And: How cool can it be?

The challenge for us with photographs will be: What are they?
We must add titles and descriptions by hand
We also need to capture technical details
For that we’ll try some new methods
We’ll have to be efficient
Otherwise, how to do this for several thousand images?
