Question : Image Gallery, a tough one

I've been looking at ways to take images and create an image gallery.  One way would be to do the plain old HTML thing and stick images in a table, etc, etc.  But that's boring and time consuming.  I know I could use PHP to create a gallery pretty easily, but I've been wondering if there's an even easier way to do it.  Yeah, I'm asking for a lot.  Here's what I'm envisioning:

- Having all the images in a specified directory be automatically placed in a thumbnailed image gallery (several images per page).

- The pages would update themselves when new pictures were added.

- All images would have thumbnails automatically created and placed on the gallery pages so the pages wouldn't take forever to load.

- The thumbs would link to the full-size images.

That's basically all I can think of at the moment.  So, is this possible?  If it is and you're able to help me get it working, I'll boost up the points on the question big time.

Thanks,
