game update later today

so, i've been working on redesigning the way that i exhibit my photos on this web space and i need opinions. the way it is now, the photos are viewed in the same window as everything else. this makes for a neat and tidy desktop, but causes folks with smaller browser windows a little bit of discomfort when trying to view them for the first time. it also makes it quite a bit more difficult to just add new photos as i see the need. this was the purpose of that area all along.
i have a couple of solutions which will also clean up my site heirarchy, making my dav server look like the maid comes in once a week. one is less time intensive to implement and is already half-way done. it involves having each group of photos open in a new window, however, and i know that there are many that do not like windows popping up all over their precious monitor real estate. the other would keep the photos in place on the page, but does involve a bit more trickery on my part to make it easily upgradable.
so, kids, i'm looking for your comments here.
a)do you care if i post photos?
b)if you answered 'yes' to a, do you have an opinion on the above choices?
c)there is no c.

i'm not terribly happy with the idea of opening new windows purely from a design aspect. i like everything being tight and complete. i will also be adding comment functionality to photos soon and how they are displayed will depend on today's topic of discussion.
and....go!
