I personally prefer to be in control. My provider has the easy option to 
install a photo gallery as part of my site, so setting that up was 
nearly as easy as signing up to flickr or something along these lines.

Generally, while I'm not particularly paranoid about disclosing 
information on the net, I also don't feel the need to publish my 
personal pics to the rest of the world. Hence, a "private" gallery is 
perfect for me - private in the sense that I don't link to it from my 
main page, and in that I generally do not publish links to it in public 
places. This is perfect for sharing pictures with friends and family.

I don't see why I should have my family pictures on a public site, even 
if there's nothing particularly "private" in them (no, I wouldn't 
publish pictures of my baby son taking a bath, even though some of them 
are seriously cute...).
