That still wouldn't be random. For example, on Flickr and Zooomr, they store a sequential id for each photo. To grab a random photo from there, you just need to grab the ID of the most recent photo and then generate a random ID from 0 to that. For Picasa, it does not seem like there is any ID you can grab through the API.
