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

Are you looking for someone to code this for you or do you just need some advice?

If you need someone to do it for you, is it paid or unpaid and we'll move it to the correct board :D

hmmm
