Try gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php)

Or to see a live example try
  www.bmckee.ca/gallery/  (still under construction)

I've been playing with it over the last week or so.
Problem I have is it becomes pretty slow running on my 486
- thumbnail creation takes forever
But it sure works slick.
There is a java based remote console that allows for easy uploads by 
users,
it seems to be a bit buggy yet.
I recommend taking a look at it.
