Gallery Theme Design

With the development of Gallery 3 well underway and in constant evolvement I'm thinking quite a lot about Photo Gallery theme development. I have some ideas about what I would like to do in a Gallery 3 theme, but nothing is decided as I have yet to sit down and actually try to design a mockup or anything.

So far it seems like the javascript library of choice in Gallery 3 will be jQuery which should make things a fair bit easier for me to work with. Also, the abundance of plugins available for jQuery is certain to help me out with adding some nice little effects to the final theme.

I'm looking forward to theming Gallery 3 as the theme system matures, so far it's looking very good and the current incarnation should make it fairly easy to get started with Gallery 3 theming. Hopefully this means that we will see a lot of great themes produced in the time ahead!

For now though, I would like to ask for inspiration. Do you know of a great photo gallery theme that you would like to show me? It doesn't have to be css/html only, flash based sites work for inspiration as well even if my theme most certainly won't be flash based at all.

So, what do you say? Want to help me find inspiration for a great Gallery 3 theme?
