Does anyone know of any good starting points for writing (NP++) my own HTML photo gallery? This is more a proof of concept thing than needing to be bullet proof. I am looking for a tutorial that would set me off in the right direction.
If that fails, a free to use and dissect photo gallery would work, too. Would like to use only HTML and CSS.

If I recall correctly the galleryproject is fine, versatile, powerful, feature-rich but big, needs a MySQL database, and uses more than just CSS and HTML. Having said that limiting yourself to just CSS and HTML is making it difficult - a bit of PHP and/or Javascript is no big deal.The next issue is just what functionality you need, There are hundreds of web galleries available as opensource and there isn't a "best", they tackle the issue different ways and present different user interfaces.If you're thinking about doing it yourself - the first question is why when there are so many already available. One answer may be because your requirements are very basic - in the past I've written a few small task specific galleries in a few lines in PHP and/or Javascript. Another answer is because you need functionality you cannot find examples of in pre-existing galleries - so find one that does most of it and see if you can hack it around to suit your needs - but first you need to be clear what functions you DO need.An example of a gallery that at least complies with your "CSS & HTML only" constraint is http://www.admixweb.com/demos/css3gallery/
