Photo gallery suggestions?

I’d like to integrate a photo gallery to my blog. I’ve already checked the Gallery2 plugin and while it’s nice, Gallery2 is really too much for what I need.

I simply want a plugin that would let me make albums and dump photos in there. It would also be nice to be able to add a caption to each photos, but that would be a bonus.

But I would also like to *easily* be able to take a few images off an album and write a regular post around those images. For example I would like to be able to write about my trips and use a few images in my post, and clicking on those images would take me to the whole album or something like that.

I do not need anything fancier.
