I'm not sure how to interpret "web2.0" and "just functional" together.

How low tech do you need?  Obviously, the easiest is to dump all the
images into a directory (or directory tree) and then create thumbnails
for the index.html.  I'd use ImageMagick to generate the tumbnails:

    http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/

I'd probably use a perl script and a cron job to look for new
additions ever so often and regenerate the index.html pages.

Of course http://gallery.menalto.com/ is probably equally as easy to
setup and provides extra features.
