PhotoJAR: Post Thumbnailer is now available for download. This is the plugin I am using on this blog to display gallery thumbnails on posts. The highlight feature is the display of a full gallery via Lightbox (or other viewer) when the thumbnail is clicked.
PhotoJAR: Base is also updated with many code improvements and a couple minor features. The linkto parameter can now be set to “viewer”, “default”, etc. to override the PhotoJAR settings on an individual gallery or image. The settings page has some minor organizational improvements. Also new: PhotoJAR will only display images in a viewer if it was added via an [image] or [gallery] tag.

A collection of photos from the 4th of July Carnival in Rolla, MO. This year I spent most of my photography time at the Starship 2000 ride. There is also a new take on the Octopus (my main focus last year - see one from last year in the Abstract gallery).

Allison and Josh were married on June 7th. I took the camera along and took a few photos while staying out of the way of the official photographer. Grandma had what she would call “a drinking problem,” which I kindly captured for posterity.

On May 31st, I had the pleasure of shooting Caitlin and Chase’s wedding with my good friend Bekah. These are a few of my photos from the day. The wedding was held in our college town, with an outdoor reception at a nearby camp. Each table had crayons and Caitlin & Chase pages to color on!
A couple notes about the gallery: Chase has been in a few metal/hardcore bands. Bekah gets credit for having them give us “the finger” (no, not that finger).
