Chris Hodapp 94310f0f9d Migrate *all* photos to the cavelab setup. Header/footer still broken.
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.

I picked up some very cheap extension tubes and a reversing ring for my DSLR, hoping to do some macro photography with them. However, I sort of ignored that both my lenses default to having their apertures at their narrowest setting (rather than their largest, which for some reason I assumed) until instructed otherwise whether electronically or via the aperture lever. This made it a bit more difficult to do a lot of the shots. I have a 49 to 52 mm step-up ring coming in the mail which will let me use the old SMC Pentax 50mm lens, which has an aperture ring, but it appears to be on a slow boat from China so it's not coming anytime soon.
