camlistore (http://camlistore.org/) is a good contender:

- It's an open source software, created and personally (as in, it's not part of the job) maintained by one of the go maintainers at Google

- It's designed to be a personal storage for everything, but there already is a good focus on photos. Check out the demo in the video

- It has a multitude of remote storage already:

  - s3
  
  - google cloud storage

  - google drive

  - any mongoDB you can point to
- It has encryption and synchronization of data and metadata built-in

- The storage format is utterly simple

- Unfortunately its installation is still quite spartan, being CLI and all.

I'm following it closely to see where it goes, because it could very well be a final solution for all content management woes.



That's a very interesting hint and the demo looks promising. The project has the potential to change not only the way how to store photos, but also to manage my documents and notes and knowledge related files (books, emails, bookmarks).
