I have been using DokuWiki on my own website. It is easy to set up and does 
not require use of a database. I chose it because of its simple set up (it 
didn't require a database), and it was supposed to be better if you wanted 
to use it for documentation (which is one of the things I wanted to use it for).

There are lots of plugins available for DokuWiki to add extra features. One 
plugin will add blog type features while another will let you export pages 
to OpenOffice. An addon for LibreOffice will let you save files in DokuWiki 
format.

For dealing with pictures I use Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/). You 
can use Gallery to maintain the pictures and include links to the images in 
the Gallery in the wiki pages.
