It's very nice. I'll consider using it and watch as it hopefully evolves. Just one critique. It looks a little too... neat (like it hasn't been lived in). The images on the home page that are so integral to the look, come across as stock photo'ish (even though I'm guessing they're not). It might just be that the three home photos look like they're from the same family trip. Also an aside - and I hate this part - get…

Thanks for the feedback. All of the example photos are my own, but I can try to make it look a little less stock-photoish.

Good point about the privacy terms. I have examples from my other websites that I'll throw up there.

The interface is better - but otherwise, how is this superior to imgur ( http://www.imgur.com )? Imgur has obviously already scaled.

This feels more family oriented than imgur. I know that sounds silly, and maybe at some point this will be overrun with meme's too, but in its current state I would rather use this to send an album to my grandma than imgur.

Nice work ... what about privacy tough? If I am not mistaken, the album id is 6 chars long with the combination of lower and uppercase a-z and digits, can be brute forced...

Yes, that's true. It's not particularly secure. I don't think many people are going to try and gain brute force to a random photo album, especially considering 80% are blank with people just trying out the site..
