20080204_Joomla install with template_TM

I have a client that wishes to convert his current site to Joomla. Key Features: -Joomla setup. -Joomla free template integrated. -Blog where he can post recent activities, etc. -Photo Gallery where he can show photos of recent activities (vacations, etc.) - with link to hi-res image. -Would prefer auto thumbnail generation so he doesn't have to upload two image. This client goes on vacations and has many activities he does. He'd like to be able to show family and friends recent info while he's on vacation, etc. May need your recommendations on how best to set this up. If you've already done a Joomla site similar to what I'm asking please provide that reference as well as your other references. If you'd like to see some screenshots of current site I can show those via PM.
