There is the Yahoo Photo Gallery made up of folks that for the most part 
are either still connected with this group or were in the past. It is not 
used very often, but it is there and it's free. You do have to sign up  though.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PhotoGallery/

Click on "FILES" to go to the photos. Do not click on
"PHOTOS," as there is 
not much there.Don't know why, but no one uses that area. In the FILES 
area, you can set up your own folder and put your photos in for viewing.
