flickr say you can mark your photos private. when you look at the web

google images tips left as an exercise.

Rest snipped. Of course they're not *private*, in that sense of the

serves no purpose whatsoever. If you have pictures you don't want to
share with strangers, don't put them on Flickr.

Seems simple enough.
