Import pictures from gallery 2

Hi there,

New to the forums; hope to have posted in the right corner…

For a recently set up page I started using WP 3.2 and I was pretty amazed what can be done with WP and how easy it is to adjust the look and content to my needs. I run myself a photo gallery webpage with Gallery2 installed.

Now I’m thinking of migrating my own content (say, pictures) into a WP installation. There are some great skins around (like this one just to pick one). But I don’t want to reupload all my photographs again (and especially all the descriptions).

1) Is there any chance to batch import pictures from Gallery2 into a WP gallery site?
2) Any other suggestions for themes (no matter if pay skins or free skins) for mainly photographic content (and a “about me” and a “contact me” static page)?

Thanks for any help on this one!

Cheers Mirko
