So, I've been working on a photography website for my good friend Tav, it can be seen at tavfox.com. The site arose out of the lack of a solution for letting people view images for free, pay to download full-res albums, or throw a few bucks in a tip jar. I'm getting to the point in development where I need to know - IS ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED IN HAVING A WEBSITE LIKE THIS? (please note the tavfox.com demo is not fully functional yet, but it's an ok example of what the end product will be). It can make you money through paid downloads of full-res albums, a tip jar, and ads. I'm obviously not asking for any commitment, I just need to know if any people want it before I start coding the administrator backend. You'd need to host it yourself (GoDaddy's like $8/month works fine for a handful of photo albums, though obviously hosting a bajillion cons would need something better), and I'd ask a couple bucks a month for ad-free operation, or for free if I can put one ad somewhere. It's fully customizable, you can obviously change the background images, text, etc. through the admin panel. Just leave a comment if this is something you'd like to have to put all your pictures up on.

Oh, and uploading new albums is really easy. You just upload a zip of the full-res images and it will automatically make half and thumb copies, generate the album cover, add it to the site, etc.

Demo: tavfox.com (still working on some features, but it's functional)
