Martin-

I love the idea of being able to take a souvenir of your exhibit  
experience with you.  I wonder what it would take to automatically  
batch photos on an online service (picasa, photobucket, etc.), tag  
them by time stamp, and let people download and print at home???  It  
would be little fuss once the system is set up....

I'd done this while light painting with guests at the fort worth  
museum of science and history, but our team did this all  
manually...pretty effective (ie guests did go home and print out their  
images), but it does take time....does anyone have thoughts on  
automating this process??

Best wishes and happy new year!

Sam
