Photo Sharing Website

I am looking for a web based photo sharing website that's free. I have relations who live quite far away and want the latest photos of our newborn son on a weekly basis.

I've looked a Flickr and Zooomr but both seem to compress the images to much smaller sizes and less quality. I use a 10MP camera which has image sizes between 4-5MB each and rather than email all the time would like to post them to a website and only let certain people I allow have access. My relations would then be able to download them in their original size and print them off.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    most free sites restrict the size of the files. if you want very big photos then pay the upgrade fees.
    or email them.
    but even free email accounts restrict the size of attachments.
    Get some gorm.

    You could always just get your own website address and get webspace where you can put your photos. Your family can then connect and download the photos at leisure.

    The webspace can/will be password protected and most importantly it will be private so you don't have to share your photos with everyone.
