Simple, elegant, full featured, and free.

minimal Gallery is a free, open source, and standards compliant, picture gallery system written in PHP. It works without a database, which means it requires virtually no setup, and its modular architecture makes it highly customizable, both in form and function.

I wrote this little PHP script because I wanted an easy way to put my photos online and all the available solutions I tried were way too overblown for my needs and too ugly for my tastes.
