The trouble here is that I really do need to do something like that.

I'll be able to restrict access to the web page to only people I trust
so I'm not too worried about all of those tricky issues.

But I need to take the uploaded photos and do stuff to them - so an
off-the-shelf gallery or Wiki or whatever isn't a solution.

I just need to understand the basic priciples of how the heck this
trick is pulled.
