So, I did some testing and experimenting.

Eric, there is a link you can send out for that picture that will give
the list access to see it without folks having to join Facebook if they
don't want to. You get the album link when you are editing that album
(scroll to the bottom of the page).

But for those of you complaining about having to join something and
suggesting various photo websites, please note that even if Eric had put
his picture on imageshack, photobucket, flickr, or shutterfly, and had
the settings done just right, you would have needed a password to access
the picture on those sites as well. So "blaming" Facebook was very
uninformed. In fact, from my little experimenting, I found that the
privacy controls in Facebook were easier to find/adjust/control than
those on the photosharing sites.

Clear Skies!
