2188 | Camera to record where a picture was taken Have you ever looked around your picture libraries for a picture of a particular place? I've just been doing so, and suggested to a delegate that cameras should have GPS systems on them.

1827 | What a shock You have probably seen the last pictures on this site ... taken with the digital camera I have been using for a couple of years.
