Is it possible to store the photos on my own sever instead of Amazon or Dropbox ...

That's what I do at http://photo.shutterbugging.net/

(this is an older version of OpenPhoto)

I host it on Dreamhost. No root access, flat file system for the photos, MySQL provided by Dreamhost.

There are some known issues, but this will definitely evolve for the better. That's why I wrote the MySQL and localfs originally, thanks to jmathai clean design.

Yes. We've got adapters for local file system and mysql.

Photos are stored on the file system with pointers, tags and other information in the database.

With a little bit of code you can write any file system or database adapter. We've got them for SimpleDb, S3, Dropbox, MySql, Local file system.
