I have some photos I want to send to a Windows user but I want a secure way of doing so. You can add a password to a zip file but I think thats a bit lame. Any suggestions?

If you want encryption, how about TrueCrypt (www.truecrypt.org)? There's a Mac, Linux, and Windows version, it's open-source and free, and containers created with any platform open on any platform.
Or you could use GPG (openPGP) and encrypt the zip file that way. You can use GPG and PGP in the manner without keypairs (using a password instead - called a symmetric cipher)
Most do, but some of the newer programs use AES (which is secure.)
I *think* Stuffit uses AES, but I'm not sure.
OS X has openssl built in, which is a command line tool for encryption. If the other user has a Mac or Linux based computer, or has downloaded openssl in Windows, they'll be able decrypt your file with the necessary password.
