How can I annotate/draw on pictures online?

Any webapp/code available that can let people post pictures online and have others annotate them with their comments and drawings?
Hi, am trying to see if there is any webapp or readymade code available that will enable people to annotate pictures - not only with comments as is already available in flickr etc. but also to make simple drawings - circles, lines etc. on the picture?
The app should also be able to save these annotations so that when new users come and visit the picture, they can see existing annotations (and drawings) and add their own. Just to give an example of usage - if someone puts up a photo of the empire state building, users should be able to draw circles/lines on it to indicate their offices, the views visible from each floor etc. Hope this makes sense

Response by poster: Thanks, something with this functionality is what I'm looking for. However, sadly they do not seem to have a developer api anywhere. Any suggestions on similar tools that do have APIs available? And thanks DarlingBri for the Skitch link!

Not sure about drawing, but fotonotes is a pretty common image annotation tool.
