I need to expand a photo gallery for a client, it has grown (or will soon) past the point of managing it locally. I was looking at Flickr and a few others.

Right now I retouch, and manage everything that comes in from the users but I am considering allowing direct uploads so if that feature is available it could be a plus.

Anyone have any opinions or experiences the want to share?

Can't you run Gallery or something as opposed to getting some remotely hosted thing?

I've never had to do one before so I am not familiar with Gallery. Are you referring to this: http://gallery.menalto.com/ ?

If so, it is definitely something I am considering but wanted some input from y'all.

I found one photography site.
It can help you because it’s got some great search tools.

depending on the end needs coppermine might do you alright. Its easy to use to and since its open source there is a abundant amount of faq info around the net.

flower, please do check the date.

Almost 2 years old.

I would use a script like Xoops or Drupal because it is all iclusive (one login - lots of features), one database, and nearly unlimited options for expanding the website beyond its current functionality.
