I have actually passed 1000 photos of Katie, starting with about 5 sonogram pictures all the way to what I shot today. I would be devastated if I lost them, and so $25 bucks a year for a Flickr pro account to back them up, along with some 10,000 photos I have accumulated since getting my first digital camera back in 2000, seems like a HECK of a deal.So, I am in the process of trying to upload and organize literally thousands of photos, some 10% of which I shot of my daughter in the last 10 months. And of those, there are about 50 that no one can see but me. Why? Let me tell you.
I may be a dummy, but I ain't no fool. This are the interwebitubes!!! And I have discovered that sadly, pedophiles are very good at combing the various Flickr groups people have innocently formed to post pictures of their beautiful children.
Now, refuse to live with the paranoia that some sicko might catch a glimpse of my kid. Still, I'm a prudent sort of person, so I made private any pictures where she is not fully clothed. So, any of you that feel like looking at just a TON of Katie pictures, feel free. But, if you want to see those truly adorable pictures of her splashing in the tub, or the picture of her birth, thanks to the sickos, you're going to have to sign up for a Flickr account and have me add you as friends or family.
I guess it just makes me sad. I am so proud of her. I want to share her with the world. And instead, I'm worrying about what some perver might think.

Could relate to this--you're smart. We haven't ever lost massive amounts of pictures, but we've lost a few (the time between the last backup and whatever happened to go wrong with the computer)...and even that was heartbreaking. A friend of mine just lost almost THREE YEARS of baby photos...heartbreaking!
I know what you mean to about worrying about photos on the web. What scared me is searching google images under my son's first and last names and having their pictures pop right to the top! Not sure what anyone could do with that, but it just gave me the creeps wondering. That made me go through every family/picture related page I had on my website and put the "don't spider" code on it that will tell google and most other surf engines not to surf that page, and go through and try to get any last names off the page, just to be extra cautious.
Ah, sheesh...I need to use a grammar check on my stuff. Poor sorry former English major I am!
