In the age of digital cameras you can and often do take more picture than anyone has the attention span to sit through. How many picture of your vacation can you show to a friend?
Keep the 'show' to 20 mins. with about 20 seconds per pix. Work up a script so you know what you want to say bout each picture/sequence. I'm guessing you are projecting them, or showing them on your TV. The pass the picture around (either physicaly or on a small view display does not work).
I just recently posted 85 pictures on a photo website from our vacation, but when I sent it to my friends I said, "make sure to check out the first 10 photos, those are my favorites..." they can decide what to do from there.
Obviously, if the person in question is in a photo, or familiar with the scene or people in the photo, it will mean more to that person than it would to someone who doesn't know the people.
I take a picture of my cousins or my cousin's kids, they're not going to mean anything to most of the people I would be showing such photos to. Heck, the two sides of the family don't really know each other or interact much--I'm the person they both have in common. So two unrelated cousins (to each other) aren't going to be too interested in pictures referring to the other cousin. I would prefer it if I could send the photos through Facebook to specific people, instead of posting them openly.

I choose who gets to see my photos. FB has excellent privacy settings, so people not on your list and even some on your list don't have to see them. I have over 50 high school classmates on my list. We keep in touch, but I don't want them looking at my pictures, statuses, wall, etc., so they are blocked from that. Only a select few get to actually see my albums, mostly family and close friends. That's the best thing about FB, you are in control of who sees what.
If I care enough to add them, they should be free to see everything and anything. If I didn't want them to see it, I would not add them.
As per my example, the only person who's going to care about pictures of my cousin's kids are her...and maybe her brother. The cousins on the other side of the family could care less about them...and posting pictures of kids is kind of touchy to me anyhow. But I do know that she herself would love to have those pictures. I posted pictures from the one cousin's wedding. His sisters and cousins may want to see them, but the 80 something (or maybe more) people I went to high school with wouldn't care. The other side of the family wouldn't care. There may be, though, pictures that they WOULD like to see.

You're the one that said you'd like to send photos to specific people on FB, instead of posting them for everyone to see. I was just telling you there is a way to do that. Now, you're saying that if you care enough to add them, they should see everything. Which is it?
Wen I return from travels to exotic places, NOBODY asks anything about where I went. No, there were two exceptions. A Vietnam vet asked me about Vietnam, and a 12-year old kid once worked really hard to ask me a lot of questions.
I think they're too embarrassed to say "Just where IS Africa, anyway?" Furthermore, I never travel with a camera, and I have no pictures at all of anyplace I've ever been.
Sometimes people will have seen XYZ on some travel channel, and will ask me two questions:
1. Did you go to see XYZ?
2. Why not?
