Using Portfolio Pages Instead of Traditional Gallerys

Traditional galleries are great. You select an entire folder full of pictures, upload and you are done. It’s easy an almost completely useless. That’s correct I said useless. There is little interaction, searchability or info associated with such an approach to galleries.
