Thanks Jeff.
That doesn't seem to be the problem. I was aware of it, but in order to do
due diligence I thought I would try both crossdomain urls anyway.

The problem seems to be the following: using photos.googleapis.com no
parameter works from this entire table in the reference guide:
http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/reference.html#Parameters

The following works:
http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork

The following does NOT work:
http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork?tag=nature

actually, any parameter after the "?" does not work, regardless of if that
data exists in the album. Is this a bug, have you discontinues the use of
any of those parameters from the reference table you provide at
http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/reference.html#Parameters as well as
doubling it up with album/albumID in the example below the table? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. I would like to be able to select photos from
an album using tags like I could previously. Thanks.
