Their current offering, S3, is quite expensive and more geared towards actively used data storage (websites etc.) whereas Glacier is more geared towards long term archival storage that does not change much. In my mind - that sort of scenario is perfect for photos. Anyway it's awesomely cheap - only $0.01 per GB per month... which means that 500GB will only cost you $5 a month.

So in 12 months you could have bought a 500gb HD drive and clouded your own. And you keep your own rights to everything on it.
Computers are pretty. The internet is evil. Together they are pretty evil.
I like change, after the problems have been ironed out.
