Some photos & a simple Flickr gallery

I have recently gotten back into photography and am slowly building up a collection of images on Flickr. For now it is mostly wildlife shots but as I work through the backlog in Lightroom you can expect a bit more variety.

I figured it would worth it to show some of these photos on the blog so I put together a quick and dirty gallery of my photostream using jQuery and the Flickr Api. You can check it out at Photography.

It relies on inserting raw HTML into the reStructuredText source of the blog at build time. You achive this by using the immensely useful “raw” directive:

.. raw:: html
    :file: gallery.html

Apart from that it was fairly easy to use the getPublicPhotos call to retrieve the photostream and then use jQuery to build up the gallery (each and getJSON).
