Each photo has a unique Web address printed on it, like this:
http://budwin.net/sam/n9ftr7
This Web address is designed so that only the person with the print can access that picture online. However, you can share the Web address with friends or relatives in distant places so they can access your picture as well. Just remember, in the Web address on the picture, all of the letters are always lowercase.
The Q-R code on the print label can be used with many phones to access the picture page. It encodes the exact same URL that is printed on the bottom line (budwin.net). It should still be secure, because you need the print or a good copy to use this feature.
The Web page for each picture has different size pictures for different purposes, all easily downloaded for email, Facebook or for making additional prints. The individual picture pages are kept for about 11 months. When it is time to do this again, the old pictures are taken down to make way for the new ones.
Here are some example pictures from the last few years.
