Oh come on, I told you upfront that I was being irrational! OK, mail servers could be compromised, but I think my pics would be safe by obscurity b/c intruders would be looking for email addresses, account numbers, passwords, etc. And I pretty much only forward pics to close family members. I think having run a blog and looking at logs, it's a little scary how many random sources from all over the internet (I mean world) can get to any public facing page. That's a lot scarier than what my aunt or cousin would do with a picture of my family. But mostly, it's a choice between two things: 1) keep my pics on my hard drive (with private copies on S3 for backup) - Pros: no effort, little risk. Con: no one else gets to see my pics 2) post them somewhere else: Pro: family, etc can see my pics. Cons: more effort, more cost (?), the genie is out of the bottle, have to either administer it properly or publicly expose. I know that ourdoings is dirt simple and has the privacy features I would want, which is why I said I'd use it if I ever got around to photo sharing. I know it's the one I'd recommend to anyone who asks.
