Fotki.com, PBase.com, etc. I'm working on similar project FotosGate.com and I can't understend why are you talking only about flickr. For my opinion, Flickr is not the best example for comparison.

This is why you will allow password protection on the site so that people can provide user IDs and passwords to designated individuals. You still will be advertising to the these micro communities, families, etc.<br /><br />There still are though many who do want to publicly display their work. Flickr and photoblogging show this at minimum.<br /><br />I have many photos that I keep private but many that I'd like to share with others. I suspect that others feel the same way. The key is to incorporate a place where they can do both as well as a public portal for image gathering in general. Even with 1% of the photographs taken out there as public you will have an amazing public library for downloads.

They all have a private community of friends and family. Yours may be the public community at large, but 99% of camera owners have a very small and private community.
