As far I understood you want render this peace of code
$page_array['photo_gallery_arguments'] = array(
'#title' => t('All photos from ever'),
'#items' => $items,
//Theme hook with suggestion.
'#theme' => 'item_list',
'#type' => 'div',
);
in series of divs ... So change those peace of code on this:
foreach($items as $item_key => $item){
$page_array['photo_gallery_arguments'][$item_key] = array(
'#type' => 'container',
'#attributes' => array(
'class' => array(
'my-class-' . $item_key,
),
),
);
$page_array['photo_gallery_arguments'][$item_key]['content'] = array(
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => $item,
);
}
OR another variant with 'markup':
foreach($items as $item_key => $item){
$page_array['photo_gallery_arguments'][$item_key] = array(
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => '<div class="my-class-"' . $item_key . '>' . $item . '</div>',
);
}
OR another variant - divs without classes:
foreach($items as $item_key => $item){
$page_array['photo_gallery_arguments'][$item_key] = array(
'#type' => 'item',
'#markup' => $item,
);
}
P.S. read about Render Arrays , also some elements described at Form API
