NYCPHP Meetup

[tom keating]

Hello all,

we are a funded arts organisation. im not 100% sure if i'm posting to 
the right list.
i have been trying to adapt php gallery scripts to fit my needs and have 
realized i dont really know what im doing!

_brief introduction to 'us'_

Walkingtheland is a long-term initiative led by three Stroud based 
artists, landscape enthusiasts and educators.
our work has two threads:
1. to develop and produce our own work in response to walking through 
the landscape as a group.
2. the artists show this work as a catalyst for working with local 
people, artists and others with a keen interest in the landscape.
Participants are supported in developing their own work in response to 
the walks and this work is then curated on a web-based /e/Gallery. Over 
time this will develop into an archive of responses to local landscape.

we have arts funding to develop the second thread

_what we need.
_
a dynamic and efficient way of storing and displaying images (and 
eventually movie and sound)

we are currently using iframes (created by photoshop and simplifying the 
html a little) but its obviously becomes a bit longwinded the more 
images we have the more pages 
http://www.walkingtheland.org.uk/walkingthelandgallery/ (and click on 
the names on the right to see the gallerys)

at the moment we badly need to start storing images and displaying them 
well. but we have a vision to develop the way the images are displayed 
in the future.
we want to create 'online' maps of images sounds movies and journeys 
incorporating GIS.

_any ideas?_

if anyone has any ideas or can offer any help it would be greatly apreciated

if i hear from anyone then i can be far more specific

regards tom
