Others

  • Zenphoto - a very simple, straightforward approach
  • Plogger - This is a little less mature and has a nice clean interface. There aren't nearly as many features as the more mature options
  • PHPGraphy - This is another newcomer. I like how this is fairly simple, and has a few features you would expect from a photo gallery. You can get your hands dirty and put together a little theming to make this look right on your site
