I've been thinking more about doing something related to this sometime soon. I would say that if anyone is in the habit of deleting their photos once they've used them they might want to hold off on doing that for a while. I wasn't entirely sure what Rainer was aiming at though, a gallery of photos used for preparing OSM photos, picasa photos overlaid on OSM maps?
