Photo hosting

I'm a lapsed, amateur photographer, but have used this site since '03. It's not free and costs start at about $24 a year, depending on your subscription... one month, one year, two years, etc.

Just thought I'd offer it as an alternative for those of you still looking.

And here's a random album to give you an idea of the look and feel.

My concern, which you and others might address, is why put your photos in an online album, which might disappear one day?
I have similar 'qualms' about using 'the cloud'.

just use these sites as a way to share their photos with others.

While some may use the sites for storage, many stick to hard drives and backups of one sort or another.
