For hosting personal photo/video albums on the web there are various options out there like Google Picasa and the like. However, I would like to build my own web photo albums to post them on my own web site. I know that I can link to Picasa web albums from my site but that's not what I'm looking for. (Why? Part of it just for the learning and part of it is a bit of reticence [maybe even unjustified paranoia] of putting too much information in the hands [or datawarehouses] of a few giant web companies that can mine all sorts of personal information from my personal data. For example, someone figured out where one of the Mythbuster shows' main characters live by simply looking up the geotags embedded in some pictures of his backyard that he posted to his own Facebook page. I know I can strip the tags ...)
I can think of scripting it up in Perl using, say ImageMagick to create thumbnails, etc. and building html indexes from simple text-based inputs. But then I thought that somebody else has most likely already done that. So I'm looking for suggestions and/or comments good/bad for any scriptable web-based photo album development tools.
