I created this module for a few simple reasons. I needed a powerful and yet simple module to display photos on quite a few websites (mainly my family sites), I didn't want to be bothered with actually hosting the files, I don't want to provide any tools for managing their photo collection. So, this module was created initially to talk with Picasa and I named it Escher (which happens to also be my youngest nephews name). Later I added the provider layer and wrote a flickr plugin, because all my personal photos are stored in my Flickr Pro account
Features:
- Flickr or Picasa backend, providing photo storage and automatic thumbnails
- Highly optimized AJAX javascript callbacks aka web 2.0

- Optional authorization for displaying private images from your Flickr or Picasa account
- Optional image upload support to Flickr (Picasa support coming soon)
