I've been looking for a clean and elegant way to display here on the blog a selection of the photos I took last week. I didn't want to use the built-in Flickr slideshow as deciphered by Paul Stamatiou both because the design has too many distracting elements, I think, and because it scrolls through photos automatically -- I think it takes something away from the pleasurable experience of interacting with photographs if they're served up to you after regular 5 second intervals. So I settled on Flickrshow. I'm not entirely happy with it (for one reason, the javascript that drives it is hosted offsite), but heck, it's free and seems to be fairly reliable. I can't quite figure out how to display a Flickrshow inline in the blog format, because it requires that you add a unique head tag to the page where you want to display your photos. So I'm going to have to ask you to jump over here to have a look at the subset of forty or so "best" photos I've culled from all those I took in New Orleans.
