What modules would I use to build a website that ...
- has 100s of photos that can only be added and modified by an admin [i.e. not the majority of users]
- allows users to find and group photos into their own custom made collections
- leave and come back to view their own collections as well as collections made my others
- edit their own collections
- then share their collections with others

Hi Rex, Welcome to the
Hi Rex,
Welcome to the group.
You may want to check out the books like Front End Drupal (I believe in the 5th chapter she talks about image galleries) or the Drupal Multimedia written by Aaron Winborn.
There are also often helpful people on the IRC channel drupal-support. Read more about drupal IRC at http://drupal.org/irc
We frequently get into discussions of the best modules to use for different tasks at the meetings, so you may want to bring this question to a meeting. The next one isn't scheduled yet, but should be soon.
Good luck,

Check out Apture module, or even Openpublish install profile.
Rex-
If you are still working on this, you may want to have a look at the Apture module: http://drupal.org/project/apture
Apture allows you to easily embed pictures, music, video, and even calendars and widgets from Google, while keeping visitors in your page.
I found out about Apture when I was playing with the OpenPublish installation profile of Drupal 6. If you are starting from scratch, it has a ton of really useful modules included, and configuration is a snap. Check out: http://drupal.org/project/openpublish
Have fun!
