This one has been floating around the photo blogs for several days now. I’ve largely ignored this one lately since I’ve been just too dang busy to care.

But today I read Thomas Hawk’s review, “PicLens: The Most Beautiful Way to Browse Photos on the Web“. In his review he says, “PicLens is hands down the best I have ever seen photos look online.”

You know what? Thomas ain’t pullin’ yer leg. It really is the best way I’ve ever seen photos displayed online.

I finally downloaded this small and simple to install plugin for Firefox browsers. I was instantly blown away. The interface reminds me of what I’ve seen of the iPhone’s photo browser. I’ve only tested it out with my Flickr and Picasa collections, and it works flawlessly. The interface is fast and smooth, and the really great thing is that you can cruise through someone’s entire photostream without having to wait for the page to load or having to click on individual photos to see larger versions. You just click, drag the interface, and photos load smoothly in the background. Want to see a photo bigger? Just click it and it instantly enlarges. Need it even bigger? Double click and it goes full screen.

If you’re into photos (you’re reading this right?), then DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER to download this plugin. Do it now! NOW!

Simply breathtaking.
