This is a great idea, but why not just use Flickr or some similar photo site that offers an API for geotagged photos?
The only unique thing we'd need to add is a method of recording the orientation (X degrees from magnetic north, Y degrees inclination, Z degrees field of view) of the photo at a given position (if known) so that we can later build a StreetView-type interface for these images. Such information could be stored with Flickr's API as machine tags.
