I can think of two things that you could do that can help keep people from stealing your photos:

1.  The easiest would be to use JavaScript to disable right-clicking.  However, this will not stop theives who know enough to just view the source and get the links to the photos that way.

2.  Rather than use a traditional format, like jpeg, use Flash or Java or some other plug-in to display your photos.  That way your viewers cannot right click and save them.  I'd suggest using Flash as it'll load quickly and is pretty easy to make.  With Flash, you could also make a nice little interactive browsing interface.

Those are just my two cents.  Hope they help.
