The criteria:

1. Easy for the photographer to add pictures to the System.
2. Easy to for viewers to navigate through the galleries and photos.
3. Minimal interface to keep the photography front-and-center.
4. Scales correctly for various screen resolutions.
4. Fast.

This is where I am at so far:

I am working on software that anyone can use to publish a gallery in a similar way.

Still to add:

1. Voice commentary by the photographer.
2. Per-photo viewer comments.
3. Rating system.
4. Video options (gotta do something with the clips modern digital cameras can make)

Tell me what you think.

Are there supposed to be pictures? All I get is a line. Looks effective though. I suppose you'll need more than .mac to host them?

looks very nice so far.

couple thoughts:

- it'd be nice to have some kind of thumbnail when viewing the gallery list. something that pops up below when you mouse over it. or click on it. or maybe even an option for the photographer to choose to display one.
- a short description of the gallery below the name. most text could expand to show the thumbnail and description, while an arrow or something could take people right there.
- a slideshow option.
- an option to disable the sounds (both for the user and the photographer).
- text captions.
- the ability to nest an album within an album.

i'm just throwing things out that are in the software i currently use, gallery.
