Another way would be to go to Costco.com or SamsClub to the photo application....upload the photos there....and then "share" with your friend...they would get a link emailed to them to see the photos...and download. I use www.SmugMug.com, but that is a membership (paid) site....they may have a free one (limited as to storage capability).
pretty sure picasa, which is associated with your free gmail account, has unlimited uploads. then you can share the pages as was mentioned above, and make them downloadable. you can put as private and then only have certain people access them as well, if you're worried about that aspect. and isn't photobucket still free? yahoo's flickr has a limit, but you can just keep opening new yahoo accounts.
