Some of the motivations for a photo gallery are:
Some members don't have their own websites.
Some, myself included here, are tired of constantly having to point out what gender we are, a small irritant in life, granted, but an irritant nonetheless.
Some don't have the time, or the patience, to dig out each person's website from the threads to visit in order to see what someone looks like.
When time is taken to see someone's site, it frequently is down, inaccessible, forbidden, being repaired/updated, frozen, etc.
Some don't care, but some are interested in seeing what the friends (or foes) they've made here look like.
It's been suggested in this thread that a consolidation of the sites be created, I'm not high tech but might it be a list sort of page of everyone's sites from which you would then go? This sounds good. Yet still, a photo gallery page in addition to that would be a friendly and clarifying thing, and would not exclude those without websites.
Thank you for all of your votes and suggestions, and keep 'em comin'.
