    How many photos do you have?

    You could email them if it's only a couple, just sign up to gmail if you haven't already and send them that way.

    Really depends on how much space the photos take up, if there are lots of them the easiest way would be to use a program like dropbox.

    Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc. which uses cloud computing to enable users to store and share files and folders with others across the Internet using file synchronization.

    You basically set up an account on dropbox, install it on your PC.

    You can copy all of your photos to the dropbox folder.

    This folder and everything in it is copied onto the dropbox server.

    Get the person you want to receive the pictures to set up dropbox on their pc (you can use the same dropbox account you created or they can set up their own).

    If they use the same account all of the photos are downloaded into their dropbox folder.

    Anything new you add will also be synced after a short period of time (depending on your broadband speed).

    If they create their own account you have to share the folder with them (again very easy to do).

    To set up an account and install the software go to http://db.tt/GMDinJR (This is my referral link, by using it I get extra free space), you can always go direct to the site (https://www.dropbox.com/) if you do not trust the link I gave you.

    If you need any more instructions let me know.

    Right click on the folder and add to archive. Then attach that to an email (probably best to use Gmail since their attachment limit is 20MB). And send.

    Join a site like pix.ie or flickr.com and you can share the files with anyone, everyone or specific people.
