Is there any static site generators for photos? Something like "host your own flickr"? Something that uses exif tags, directory hierarchy, etc to make a static browsable list of your photos?

There aren't many tools like that. Personally I like and use `lazygal`: http://sousmonlit.zincube.net/~niol/playa/oss/projects/lazygal/ http://sousmonlit.zincube.net/~niol/playa/oss/projects/lazyg... Source: https://bitbucket.org/niol/lazygal https://bitbucket.org/niol/lazygal It's live and maintained. I also contributed some code fixes and theme to it.

Jalbum http://jalbum.net/en/software/features http://jalbum.net/en/software/features It's been about 10 years since I last used it, but looks like it's still basically the same thing; reads your photos directory, creates html pages with thumbnails and links to bigger pictures based on the directory structure. Can display EXIF data next to the images if you want.

Build your own. I've written something like that. It's not static, because I don't want to have to rebuild everything just 'cause I added a new photo, or fix a type. However, you do literately just use the file system to add and manage photos. I won't link to it because I don't want to link to my real ID. But it's pretty simple. You just have to recursively go over the folder, and get each photo. Make sure there is a thumbnail, and build your HTML.

  Yeah I was gonna do that, but wanted to check if anyone else had done it before I reinvent the wheel. :)

    Where's the fun in that? Re-inventing the wheel to scratch your own itch is part of the process of improving yourself as a developer. :p

If you are familiar with Jekyll, I have made a plugin for Jekyll, for easy album generation. You just need to put your photos in a folder, and the web page can be generated. But you need to customise the theme yourself.

  Could you post a link to your plugin?

I've built a Flickr plugin https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pelican-flickr https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pelican-flickr for Pelican. You can embed your photosets alongside your posts & pages...
