ya, propably that's a good idea. i did quite some dam-extbase-stuff as well.

first i mapped dam images incl. meta data into an DamImage model (ok, i 
admit, that's quiet boring ;-) )

i built an viewHelper <f:dam image="{damImageObject}" /> forming the 
image tag inkl. rendering, caching, alt- and meta-tags, etc pp ...

i mapped dam categories into an damCategory model, tuned dam's TCA a 
little so extbase is able to resolve the mm-relation and to map the 
contained images into the images-property of the category model. now 
you're not limited to fixed sets of images anymore but able to use 
categories (and selections) directly to display the contained images 
dynamicly.

of course parent-categories work as well, so you can even build up a 
tree, some sort of album-hierachy.

i'd love to share some code as soon as the project is ready for 
take-off. ;-)
