FotoMuseum Antwerp & Getty Images use online panorama as portal to interactive portrait exhibition "Face On"

From their site:

"FACE ON is an interactive online and offline exhibition exploring the future of the portrait.
There are more than 600 available spots to upload and hang your images, within the 16 categories of show."

Found: Photos of my photos-of-photos at a photo show filled with photographers not taking photos... :)

A way while back I stumbled across some photos by Heather Champ, posted on her personal Web site. She'd posted some snapshots from a Polaroid gallery/group show I took part in back in '03: Gimme Polaroid.

Galleries look slightly better

I have fixed a long standing 'irritation' with the member galleries; the thumbnails would not flow nicely depending on the relative heights of thumbnails/descriptions in each row of the gallery.

For a long time, I have been trying to fix this with pure CSS, but it seems it's just not possible to have a liquid floated div 'table'. Instead I am now using a bit of onubtrusive javascript to fix the layout, see my other blog for details.

The site has gone public for members!

With this message, Mike Quan opened the site to the membership:

I am pleased to announce that a beta edition of the IVRPA website is now available.

http://beta.ivrpa.org

The new site incorporates a content management system, and is much easier to
use. Each IVRPA can post text (blog), add a banner image, submit images to a gallery,
create links to a personal web site, and much more.

We are so excited about this new site, and we await your feedback on our new website.
Try it out, post your stuff, and let us know what you think. With everyone's input
this site will be amazing!

More lightbox magic

As I have mentioned before, the gallery is mostly powered by Lightbox.js. I've made a couple of changes to Lightbox 2.02 in order to make it work for the IVRPA site:

Quicktime VR content
The original Lightbox script only supports images. Ours supports still images and Quicktime VR. Others have made similar changes, and I'm sure mine are a bit more hacky than some of those. But it looks nice ;-)
Image scaling
If an image is too large to fit in the current window, it is now scaled down to fit. No scrolling necessary to view the whole image. Quicktime VR files are automatically extended to fill the screen.
