You can find a rudimentary form of aggregating images per
   photographer in the PUG directory link. Displaying them as a
   mini-gallery with thumbnails, as well as searching by equipment /
   content requires a dynamic site - no question about it. There
   already is a database of photographers and relative URLs to images
   I maintain for the directory purpose. A dynamic site distinct from
   komkon could be a solution even if not the best. Otherwise the
   komkon maintainers stated clearly they do not agree with dynamic
   pages generated on their site.
