I've wanted a service like this for a while but haven't had time to make it. A few other ways you could get photos from users:
- get a picture from their phone. This seems really important and useful, but I'm not sure the best way to do this. Ideas:
1) let them email it from their phone to a special email address
2) give them a url that takes them to a site that opens up an "upload" dialog
Both of these my be accomplishable w/ a QR code
- let them paste in a URL of an image. I've used embed.ly for this. It will take all sort of urls: plain images (rare for non-technical users), Flickr URLs, etc
