This gallery is a little different.

The gallery, when showing you an image, will give you two sets of thumbnails you can use. The first set, along the top, is traditional back and forth navigation, letting you move between the previous and next images in the current set. The current set is defined by one or more keywords or tags. Instead of browsing by folders and albums, the set is dynamically created by the tags on the images.

Now, the fancy part: By clicking on an image from second set of thumbnails, down the right side, you not only go to that image, but you (in most cases) change the definition of the set you are looking at. This is where my algorithms come into play, the gallery does its best to suggest images that are similar to the image you are looking at, but also a little different than what is in the current set.

So, if you like the set you are seeing, you can navigate through it. If one of the suggested images catches your eye, the set should change to show you more images like that. Now the browsing experience is fluid and dynamic, and not limited to linear things like albums.

You can still navigate through a single tag in a linear fashion if you wish, but if you start to follow the suggest images, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how the experience becomes an interactive evolving stream of stuff you want to see.

To the best of my knowledge, there aren't any other galleries quite like this. The tagging code and matching algorithms are mine, built on top of zenphoto, and ckladesign came up with the super-slick looking interface and layout.
