There are many places offering a place to show off your digital photography. Most of them offer to print your photos and/or sell you and your visitors cups, t-shirts, mousepads and such with photos imprinted.

What you want is basically a website where you can showcase your photos? Depending on audience size, you may want to consider using one of the web's photo communities. We recently put up a website on GeoCities showing scenes from a highschool play - seven pages - showing fifteen pictures per page - reduced in size to 72 dpi. The kids LOVED it! It's here we found out that you can exceed your "bandwidth" and the webhost stops activity at your site and nobody can see your pictures!
MSN and Yahoo each offer 30MB free space for your photos. This is in addition to the free space they each offer for websites! Yahoo gives you option to make your photos available for public viewing, just designated friends (who must have Yahoo ID's), or totally private. MSN allows you to share with designated (invited) friends. Passport required of course.

Spouse and I have some favorite places to show our stuff. A great showcase where you build photo galleries is pbase.com. See how one photographer's pictures look there at frankmon911's Galleries.
I like WebShots because you put pictures in albums, but can view them in thumbnails, full page size, or slide shows. You can also send ecards featuring your photos. You can see examples at salli39's Webshots.
We use DotPhoto for storage and printing our family photos. We also share those photos with our family by providing them with a "guest password." Has pretty much the same features as WebShots but printing prices are better.
PhotoIsland is another place, much like DotPhoto and Webshots. They offer 10 MB storage to free memberships... if you want more you can upgrade to a paid membership. (I haven't tried this one, but have a friend who likes it.)
