What wheel? I can’t find it

I guess this kind of relates to this entry, but that’s not the point, I still feel like another on the subject. I am searching for a nice gallery script to use for websites/general image storage/photo’s etc and I have been looking through all the free/opensource ones (not that there is a huge option on the latter part when it comes to php scripts). Now as pretty as they all look and as many functions as they have, they still don’t do what I want. Now this is not because the feature I want is so advanced or so obscure that most people don’t see a need for it. Oh no, it’s far simpler than that. The feature I am so desperately looking for is simplicity itself. I want something that shows pictures, on pages and has an admin section to add them with, and that’s it. It however seems that to have something with just this is impossible. The people making these things want to be known for having the most features filled, advanced script on the web, not for making one that does what people want it to. It seems that they have re-invented the wheel so many times that they are no longer left with just a wheel. The problem is, I want the wheel, nothing more. Just something that rolls. I am now at the point where I am looking at building my own wheel (and from having hunted around on the web a bit, everyone else how has looked for a wheel has ended up building one too). Onwards dear friends, for now we must make it roll….
