Photo gallery suggestion

[+TeamMoehrke]

Just an idea - I enjoy browsing through the galley of benchmark photos, but now that it has grown quite large it might be nice to have a way to sort it or view a subset of the photos, maybe by state, or radius from a zipcode. What's there now is fun, and the serendipity factor is nice, but more entrance points are always nice, too.

We need this kind of searching just as the cache locations needed this feature. One way to implement this would be to add icon next to BM search results now in place when that BM has been found. Then clicking on that icon would bring up associated pictures and comments from those that found BM.

The benchmark search already shows benchmarks found -- they have a date by them. Doesn't show benchmarks not found but which have notes or pictures, though.

I noticed a weird bug in the benchmark gallery. I saw a picture taken of a benchmark I had previously visited but I didn't take the picture; Artman did. When I clicked on the gallery picture, my comment is there, with his picture (but not his name or comment), making it look like it's giving me the credit for his picture.

 

When clicking on the benchmark from a search or 'visit benchmark', or 'my page', however, I get my note and then his note correctly associated with his picture.

I wonder how confused it would have been had we both taken pictures?

I'd like to see a random photo feature, though you can simulate this by entering a URL in the format http://www.geocaching.com/mark/benchmark_album.asp?start=NNNN where NNNN is a number within the range of available photos, currently 6203 as seen on the bottom of the gallery page.
