text: is it ok to put your pictures on the web (example: like in flickr?) i am afraid it may be mis-used?   i am actually a photographer and i keep my pics on flickr. there is a setting on it that you can choose to make your pics either private or public. i keep all of mine private and no one can look at them unless i invite them to. it is also a great place to store them, cause what if your house burns down or your computer crashes. all of your beautiful pics will be lost forever. i also have started transferring my baby pics over there too for safe keeping. i can honestly say i never had a problem with flickr
