I have made some changes such that it will handle null created and modified dates for albums. This will be included in version 3.1.

I have the same error in the Photos.GetAlbums() method too.

The impact is high.

I'm getting the same error too....is there any other workaround to get photos from the albums?

That occurs when the user doesn't have a profile pictue. see item 3

I'm getting this too and confirmed that the problem is because of not having a profile picture.
The innerexceptions show there's a problem turning a string into a number.
Using fiddler to inspect the response I see that both the created and modified nodes have no value. I'm assuming herein lies the problem. Should be a SUPER easy fix to just trap for that condition.
Attached is my response xml in case it helps.
