The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me

Internet, does anyone know how to make one of those photoset grids without being on Tumblr? Because I still don't want a Tumblr, but I do want to experiment with making photosets. I have one in my head and I want it out.

Our beginning and our end. The queen to whom we must all bow at last

OH MY GOD THIS WAS SO STUPIDLY COMPLICATED I COULD HAVE DONE IT FASTER WITH REAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE WHITE SPACE TOO.

I made a photoset for Evangeline Walton's She Walks in Darkness (2013).

Specifically, I made a photoset for a fictitious film version of She Walks in Darkness, which could not have existed because Walton wrote the novel in the early '60's and then shelved it until her death in 1996, by which point the actor I kept mentally casting in a central role was also dead. It is completely kludged and would no doubt have been much more attractive arranged by the algorithms of a masonry grid, but I couldn't get one to work on LJ. (Thanks for not supporting JavaScript!) At the moment I am rather proud of it, but I suspect it's just because I've been wrestling with HTML for hours. Behold.



( There are a lot of notes under this cut if anybody wants them. )

Questions, comments, criticisms welcome; I've never done this before. OH MY GOD I MIGHT NOT DO IT AGAIN UNLESS I CAN GET SOME DECENT IMAGE SOFTWARE STAT.
