You could set Habari up to show only 1 post at a time, and use the
next/previous links to navigate the photo posts. I actually had a theme
idea for some sort of photo blog the other night, just have not taken
the time to try to code anything together and test.

I've been writing a plugin (photoslide: http://svn.habariproject.org/habari-extras/plugins/photoslide/) that creates a new post type that is useful for adding just a photo.

It'll take a little theme development work, but it should be possible with this plugin to generalize the work of putting a photo into a post (avoid all of the post HTML formatting) and then outputting the post cleanly from the template.

To diverge into details here for a minute...

So what I didn't show in this video is what the template looked like to output the image. It's this simple:

<p><?php echo $post->content_media; ?></p>

And that creates the image tag and everything. Hopefully, as I work to complete the plugin, it'll also be smart enough to know if media is a video or some other mime type, and be able to output HTML appropriate to the type of media.

You can also directly access the MediaAsset object for the media at any time, which would get you all of the information that Habari knows about the asset. For Flickr photos, this would include the URL to the full resolution image.

I'm not sure that this is directly helpful in answer to the original question, but I think this could be a very useful tool for assembling a couple of stock themes (which is why I reply to Manda) that do what you're suggesting.
