Completely remove the other image gallery themes. I now have: image galleries, with lightboxes, and captions, with links in them (and to Hugo pages), with full images lazy-loaded, with all thumbnails auto-generated, and the ability to do this on both individual images *and* with globbing, from page resources, from this page or any specified one. See cavelab_notes.txt. It also has the ability to use Exif data of the photo - if I preprocess it into a JSON file. Known issues: - The theme header/footer are now being overridden. I am working to fix this first. - I am missing some kind of fonts/images needed for the lightbox to show up properly.

Having acquired a Nikon FE and some lenses quite inexpensively and verifying on some cheap Walgreen film that they did indeed work, I picked up some Fuji Velvia RVP50 from Cord Camera in Kenwood back in April (it was expensive compared to what Amazon would have charged, but I wasn't about to waste a trip to Kenwood over $10ish). I'd heard enough lavish praise lumped onto slide film, particularly Velvia for its fine grain and color, so I figured it was worth a try.
Few places left will process slide film but as luck has it I am really close to Robin Imaging who still processes it (and, it sounds like, might be the only lab left in Cincinnati that does). I had them scan it as well and received a disc of 6 megapixel images which is decent (I'm told you can get much higher resolution than that out of a fine-grained film, but I'm not complaining).
While, somewhat stupidly, I don't have a slide projector yet and so I've only seen the scans and the 35mm slides themselves, I still am very impressed with the results.

Sadly, my favorite image of the bunch is also the only one where I managed to advance the film wrong:
