photo.blanker

Description: 
This represents new work made from a hodge podge of open source
and example projects.  This blanker will simply show an image to the screen
when the blanker is called and change the image every so often.  The blanker 
has a number of options including recursive directory scanning.  This feature
has been tested with over 8000 images and works well.

The bases of this blanker was based on Rene's excellent examples:
