Interesting, that if Flickr was acquired for roughly $16M and Fotolog has a comparable number of users and more traffic, that the company should be valued at or above $16M. It's unclear how much BV invested of the 2.4M investment total (likely $2M) but as the only VC in, they are likely to have a substantial stake in the company and as a result will yield high return on the (likely) exit should the metrics - usage, subscribers - continue to trend upwards.
