I use wordpress hosted on my own domain. Full control, easy to use, lots of support, lots of themes, lots of plugins.

I use blogspot, Joomla and wordpress for 20 or so blogs. Out of the 3 CMS I find Wordpress is the quickest to set up and learn.

Also, Google "word press themes" and you will find thousands of them for FREE!

I also use Blogspot (from Google) and they also offer Picasa as a photo site..

Follow the link in my signature for an example.

Another happy Wordpress user here! Though I'll admit I haven't done anything fancy with the blog save to blog, but its worked very well for what I need it to do and its not complex at all once you get used to its interface.

I use wordpress hosted on my own domain. It's really easy and already includes a lot of SEO features.

I use a template from Tofurious Photographer Blog Theme Wedding Photography Tips Free Downloads

I use b2evolution for mine, so far without an issue. If you are hosting your own, it's well worth considering.

I use a self-hosted Wordpress blog (tons of themes & plugins). Tumblr has recently started taking off with the tech crowd...

People familiar with forums (like this one!) should be able to pick up blogging pretty easily. The way to write a post isn't really that much different, and it is also pretty easy to link pictures from Flickr.
