You can access anyone's photo gallery either by clicking the link, or by adding "/media/grid" after their profile page address.
The profile shows 4 previews... https://twitter.com/#!/cnn
from the gallery page... https://twitter.com/#!/cnn/media/grid
This is similar to what Facebook did long ago, showing a row of pictures at the top of user profiles. While Twitter says there's no way to control it, it seems the preview contains the 4 most recent pictures.
Now we'll see if people get as creative with the Twitter photo previews as they did with the Facebook photo previews.
One Great Security Advantage
Since Twitter allows you to upload a photo as part of any standard tweet, it eliminates the need to give third-party applications (twitpic, yfrog, img.ly, etc.) any access to your account. This is really fantastic because it eliminates any possibility of password theft or spamming your timeline.
