PhotoPal

PhotoPal is a new PHP image gallery system by Noel Jackson inspired by the Photos section on Textism. The way it is implemented reminds me somewhat of the Blosxom philosophy—the album’s structures is defined by the directory structure, with simple text files adding additional descriptions, and metadata is extracted from the photos themselves using PHP’s exif_read_data() function.

Actually, the exif_read_data() function didn't work too well for me, since it's not compiled on many PHP installations. Instead I used Exifer... http://www.offsky.com/software/exif/index.php Or a hacked version rather. Cheers.

The noeljackson.com photopal page gives a 404. Perhaps this is the same as photostack, here: http://photostack.org/ ?
