Storing Photos On-The-Go
Our first idea was to bring our trusty laptop with us, but it is rather painful to have to carry it around everywhere. Besides we already have to keep a watchful eye on our camera equipment, so we’d rather not bring more gadgets for those with slippery fingers.
So PhotoQuickie has brainstormed some cheap alternatives to this little problem (yes, we are considering going away for a bit so this is weighing on our minds):
- Bring along some CD-Rs and head off to the local cybercafe to burn our efforts.
- Use one of those adapters to offload our memory cards to a digital audio player
- Setup our webhost so we can upload all our pictures online
- Hire a couple of carrier pigeons to mail our memory cards back and forth
Truth be told, we haven’t found a good solution, but it looks as though we will need access to a computer one way or another. If you have any good ideas leave PhotoQuickie and our readers a comment.

depends on the length of the trip and how much luggage you plan on lugging. nearly all my recommendations are a combination of your brain storming sessions.
if it was short term i and there were web cafes i would pack a usb memory card reader and upload to flickr.
for longer term and internet connectivity was in question, i would probably invest in personal media player with usb on the go. i do like the video ipods they’re small enough but also have the small form factor.
for those with more money than sense (but still don’t want to haul too much), i would probably opt for a 3g multi band phone with bluetooth. transfer the pictures (using flickr) using to a pda with bluetooth and wifi builtin, with some kinda sleeve (ipaqs) or adapter to read what ever memory cards i had.

[…] Booyaa also suggested several ideas of his in the comment including using a phone to transfer photos to flickr. It is a rather neat idea, and may be doable soon as companies such as Nikon and Kodak are releasing cameras with wireless built in. […]
