You are redirecting the output into the 'example' file so wouldn't see anything appearing on your terminal.
'find /' explores every single folder and filesystem in your system, bar none, so of course could take a while. If you want to restrict where it looks, pick a more specific folder, or use options like -xdev to prevent it crossing between different filesystems.
As I'm running it, I'm doing a 'tail' to observe the output. Maybe I'm not being patient enough. I'm going to retry it using the "quotes" like you suggested.

Any way to observe the overall output as it is running? Meaning, can I see the paths it is taking which it's searching them? Maybe it's hanging on a directory.

UPDATE: I tried
and it is now showing output. I guess strd output to '>' doesn't apply to find. Now its acutally show TOO MUCH output. Now I'm trying this to norrow it down and it's not working
No ouput again........

photon
PHOTON(1)PHOTON(1)NAME
photon - generates photo albums
SYNOPSIS
photon [OPTIONS] [PATH]
DESCRIPTION
Photon generates clean, yet configurable, static HTML photo galleries. All of the work is done from the command line, and the resulting
output can easily be configured by changing the template files found in /usr/share/photon/templates.
To create a new template (skin), first create a new directory:
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.photon/templates/my_theme/
Then copy the contents of /usr/share/photon/templates/photonv1/ to this new directory. Photon only needs three files to build pages:
index.html
used to display the content of a folder
image.html
used to display the page for an image
movie.html
used to display the page for a movie
If a file is missing, then photon will throw an error and will not run.
HOW TO BUILD A GALLERY
Quick start
$ photon -o myoutputdir /photos
Use the gimp plugin
$ photon --resize-plugin=gimp -v -o myoutputdir /photos
Change the size for all images and the thumbnail and keep the original photo
$ photon --sizelist=0,1600x1200,800x600 --thumbsize=320x240 -o myoutputdir /photos
Create a gallery from your custom template (skin)
$ photon -k my_theme -o myoutputdir /photos
