I've used pBase for a very long time and continue to support it. I've tried other places and always came back to this one because of it's simplicity and because it meets my needs.
Others can visit my photo gallery and I can give links to galleries to my friends and families. I think the photos display very elegantly.
I visited a well-respected photographer's gallery at Flickr a few days ago and every time I switched to a page, I got a nag screen to join flickr. Imagine walking through a brick-and-mortar gallery and every time you move to look at the next picture, someone runs up to you and asks you to join the gallery?
pBase gives me a true online gallery experience...without nags, without annoying, in-your-face ads, without photos sliding around or wiggling on a page; to name a few of the distractions.
