Well after upgrading my photo gallery software this evening, I decided to emerge the latest gallery-remote.  Its a java front end for sizing, cropping, captioning and uploading photos to gallery.

Well, the now famous samr7 recently developed a drupal module called image_pub which implements the gallery remote api.  This means that you can now use gallery remote to upload pictures to drupal.  Very slick.  It can also be used with digiKam and the Windows Web Publishing Wizard.  And there was much cheering in drupal land.

So, easy upload of mass pictures into drupal's standard image module and then you can easily peruse and use those images in your posts, with the image_assist module, and the TinyMCE rich-text editor.  Its getting too easy.

Will I completely abandon the gallery software.  We'll see.  I need to spend some more time with drupal 4.6.2 and install the node privacy by role module.  That way I can post pictures and specify whether they are public or not.

For now, enjoy some pictures from my recent camping trip to Yosemite last month.
