I get A LOT of requests for more "Pictures From the Road."
Quite frankly, carrying around a digital camera, uploading pictures to the server and then plugging them into HTML pages and then uploading that is a little cumbersome and time consuming.
But, I've always got my cellular telephone in my pocket.
So over the next week, I'm going to debut "Pictures From the Road Version 2.0" -- kind of a stupid name, but hey, I'm a stupid kind of guy.
PFTR 2.0 is going to combine the technologies of camera-enabled cellphones with the "Pictures from the Road" feature of the site with "A Day in the Life of an Airline pilot". So when I take a picture with my cellular telephone and email it to a designated email address, the software on the server will download the email and automatically post it onto a page.
I'm still working out some kinks in the software so I'm not going to publicize the URL yet.
Sure the quality of a focus-free telephone camera isn't going to win me any Pulitzers or Edward R. Morrow awards for photojournalism, but it'll give a semi-live visual aspect of a day in the life of an airline pilot.
Might suck, might be cool, I dunno, we'll just see what happens! The fusion may work, it may not, who knows!
