cirrusImage is a Gallery.

More importantly cirrusImage is a work in progress and a location for me to store an image with information about that image as a single file. This allows cirrusImage to have an API for retrieving that information and/or image. Beyond being a showcase of my Works In Progress Current Work is a showcase highlighting a few of my development interests. Namely flat-file storage of descriptive text within the image. a.k.a image metadata and, in this specific case, EXIF Comments. Additionally the pages are "Content Rich" or "SEO Friendly" meaning that all the html or xhtml metadata is filled from descriptive data from the image files. Therefore, this project hands-off images data in the form of a url request with XHTML, JSON and PHP5 :D

The code is hosted on Google Project Hosting: cirrusImage.
