View all members photos in the Profile page

Okay, this is killing me because the answer must be really obvious if you understand how to translate URL to function calls and put them into page blocks.

We wish to display members' photos in a block in their profile page. After many hours I accidentally discovered that the following URL displays all of member's photos

modules/?r=photos/albums/browse/owner/{profileNick}

This URL must call a function that should also work in a page block. How does this work? Is it possible to convert the URL into the function call? I imagine that it might be something like:

return BxDolService::call('photos',............

Can anyone elaborate on this secret?

 I can tell you one thing, all that info will slow your site down; all those require database access and will overload your sql server.

Your welcome to pull all that info, but when you have a lot of members this will bog down your site unless your on a top notch Dedicated Server.

Sorry if the first question is confusing - it probably reflected my state of frustrated mind.

In essence, I would like to present all (or limited number of) member's photos when a member opens their profile page. I expected it to be a simple SQL query or function call and was unaware that it would be a serious server issue.

I feel that I am on the brink of understanding some of the internal workings of Dolphin but I can not find sufficient documentation about the complete list of function calls and how to utilise them. Does an easy to understand technical document exist?

look  i found something:

this is the feed url of the user album

http://www.yoursite.com/m/photos/rss/album/user-s-wall-photos/owner/user

you can use it in cooliris or any other slideshow script to display images from feeds.

so much to do....
