Have you ever tried Flickr at all? Even if you don't care about the community/sharing aspects, it still is lightyears ahead of every "album" or "gallery" tool out there in terms of features and slickness.

The Linux way to Flickr (Linux.com)

Browsing various sites, I have been unfortunate to be sent to the flickr site for miscellaneous pictures I wanted to look at (gadgets - nothing naughty ;) ). But I find the flickr pages to be cluttered, non-intuitive and just a waste of my time. Sites set up with Coppermine or Gallery2 are much easier to view as a user. I will admit that they might be a pain to set up, though.

The most elegant solutions I have seen are a combination of Wordpress and Gallery2.
