For the first time in many years, I have updated my photo gallery web pages. In the interest of quick browsing and viewing, all thumbnails are on one page. Clicking any will quickly overlay the large image. Simply clicking or using the arrow keys lets you move to the next image without waiting for another web page to load. Images can be found at a glance, galleries can be viewed faster and with less interruption, slides are now larger, and it all works a bit nicer with iPads.

All new galleries will be in this format, including the majority of 2011 galleries.

This is made possible with the integration of a great free HTML5 viewer, Lightview. Old features still exist including GPS info that clicks through to a map, EXIF info, and clicking through (the filename) to download the original image. If you are wondering, I still use JAlbum to generate the galleries, with my own custom theme, as I have for years.

Last but not least, I have uploaded ALL of my 2011 photos. That’s a first for many years! I still have plenty left to post from the previous 32!
