You can also take a look at Stockbox Photo for use as a gallery/shopping engine. I had my site built around this engine and it works quite smoothly and is very robust.

“You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you.”
― Alexander Den Heijer, Nothing You Don't Already Know
The only reason I asked about Word Press was to see if somebody had a good gallery template already done for one. I haven't seen anything satisfactory to me yet, but I'm not sure I've seen a really perfect modern gallery yet.
I want obvious previous and next arrows on the top and bottom, plus make each image clickable, plus have persistent captions, plus an indication of how far you are within the gallery (like 19 out 20). So far I haven't seen anyone doing it as simple and straight-forward as that sounds.
I admit to being confused when I look at a Flash LiveBooks site and see their Flash galleries then an iPhone and tablet version and a SEO-friendly html version too... seems like a huge headache and $$$ to do all that from scratch.
Frank,
http://forbesconrad.com/ - this site displays the galleries very cleanly. However, it appears to be somewhat of a custom build, not the result of a simple template or theme.

What do you want to happend when someone clicks on an image?Originally Posted by Frank Petronio
Sometimes a non-thumbnail image brings up the next image in the sequence, sometimes it enlarges the image, sometimes it reverts back to the gallery view, sometimes clicking on the right side goes forward and left side goes back. Sometimes it simply goes to a page with only that (same size) image on it.
I know you've been giving this some thought and surveying potential solutions, so what should clicking on an image do?

I am using wordpress for a CMS on my website. The approach I am taking is to embed Lightroom HTML galleries into static pages using one of several plugins that essentially use an iframe to put the gallery into the page. It makes it very easy to add content in the form of entire galleries and allows me to use knowledge I already have in using Lightroom. The technical blog part of my website details some of the things I did. I don't think it looks particularly 'bloggy', which is the issue with a lot of wordpress sites, IMO
It is located right here
What about this WordPress theme from a forum member?
Hi Frank,
I'm the developer of Portfolio2: http://madebyraygun.com/wordpress/th...rtfolio-theme/
And also a large format photographer: http://daltonrooney.com/
We sell Portfolio2 as a WordPress theme, and also provide customization services based on it. The theme has several different portfolio layout formats and is clean and easy to style. I highly endorse WordPress as a platform for just about any kind of website. If you're looking at the Portfolio2 theme page, be sure to click "Example Sites", you'll see what kind of customizations people are able to do with it. I've developed a lot of sites for photographers, most aren't on our website but I'd be glad to share them privately.
Feel free to get in touch! http://madebyraygun.com/about
Cheers,
Dalton
Dalton was very helpful when i after years of thinking about it finally desided to make a site.
Although it is very simple, it was all i wanted as i have no need or desire (Nor skills) to sell anything on the site.
I would like to expand mine to have subgalleries in the near future but for now it works well.
