Glad someone replied me!
On image managing part, I was told we can upload to services like smugmug or Flickr then copy the coding?

I'm not sure what lightbox plugin does sad.gif
Yes, you can also upload to Flickr. Flickr is a image hosting site, where you can upload and share your image. since you planning to build a self-hosted wordpress, you can just upload the pictures directly from your website.

Lightbox allow you to control the way you want to showcase your images. Nextgen also do the same as Lightbox but with more extra features. Here's a demo how NextGen works. http://nextgen-gallery.com/ I saw many WP website use Lightbox or Nextgen Gallery. biggrin.gif
