You can pass whatever extra arguments you like to views as the optional third argument in the urlpatterns tuples (in your URL configuration file). Usually, it is going to be easier to pass in some ident for the photo gallery as a parameter that way, since the URLConf has already distinguished the incoming requests for the two instances by that point.
