Is it possible to lock photo albums on your ipod touch without downloading an app?

I don't think you can w/o an app. But there's good free apps that locks your pictures. I have the Private Photo Lite Free by BlueScreen. You put in a password to view the pictures (: I don't have dirty pics either, just pictures I want to save but would rather not people looking at (: hope this helps
