I tried to keep the platform as simple as possible and focus on the images instead of making yet another blogging platform. Time will tell for what people are going to use it. I hope to add API soon (iPhone uploader would be awesome to blog daily activities).
Cheers and good luck with the project, you're on a great track
Pretty badass. I might be crazy for suggesting this for this idea(as this is pretty off) but it'd be terrific if I could take a snapshot of a page. For instance, I run the tool, the page I'm currently fades to black opacity(~60%) and I select the portion I'd like to share and click SAVE. It's automatically posted to my unique photoblog without me having to login(ugh, the login part is really too much work). As a user…
Looks very nice and I can see a few ideas to monetize this.
Is the directory "empty" because it's a new service or is there a limit to the number you're displaying?
What about image copyright? I can easily imagine users just using images they found on the internet as opposed to shots they've taken.
API would be cool, yes. Keep it simple please! I was thinking a Posterous-like email blogging approach would be useful.
Also, consider adding basic online image editing tools. Things like cropping, lightening/darkening, saturation, etc. Nothing too fancy but enough to get people to use this on the go, like when on holiday.

Image copyright is tricky but I don't change the images and there's links to original sources so it should be about ok. The service is hosted inside EU and I don't take credit for outside images (see footer). This is also the reason there won't be any editing features for the time being.
If you have some cool ideas for monetizing I'm all ears :)
Then again, I'm not a big fan of facebook.
Wow, this might be one of the best and most promising projects I've seen here on HN. I like the design and the simplicity and I can really see me using it. Good luck with the project!
I'm using Firefox 3.6.13 on a Macbook and every page appears to be a pixel or a few pixels wider than the window meaning there is an unnecessary horizontal scrollbar. It doesn't look very good.
The login could do with SSL protection.
If you don't have cookies enabled, trying to log in complains about a CSRF error. Might be worth detecting cookies being disabled and putting up a note on the login page to enable them. I admit this would only affect a tiny number of people, but still worth it imo.
