I'd go with Dominic's idea personally.  From a DBA perspective I've
*hated* apps that used only GUIDs for their PK... especially when I
have to either manually enter data or perform manual joins.

SELECT *
FROM PROPERTY JOIN PICTURES ON
PROPERTY.ID = PICTURES.PROPERTYID
WHERE PROPERTY.ID = 928

Is lot easier than typing out a 50-odd character string.

If you're worried about embedding ID's in your URL, use forms or have
a second unique that is your GUID
