Hi,

If I understand you right you are saying that you have a normal (not 
pro) account so the number of your uploaded photos available is limited 
to the most recent 200. But that calls to peopleGetPublicPhotos return 
all of your photos? This sounds to me like a bug on flickr's end so I 
wouldn't rely on it as a way to bypass the 200 photos limit because they 
will probably patch it up at some point... You get the same results 
through the API explorer [ 
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.people.getPublicPhotos&api_key=27432fca4cc211befecc420a98b3f93d&user_id=76173942%40N00&auth_token=2047721-4dca56da4b1afe85&api_sig=23356a3abf749558d209e4f133df5916

Cheers,
