People take more photos now than possibly ever before, so why is it I still don't get to see any of the pictures they take at my awesome parties? All those frames exposed, and the only ones I ever see are the ones from my own camera.
“We'll e-mail them to you,” they say. Thanks, but no you won't. And if you do, they'll be tiny shrunken JPEGs. What if there was a way to force them to share?
The solution is Martin Spurway's Hitch, a set of tiny, stripped down cameras, together with a bowl (or, as Martin calls it, a “dock”). Your guests grab a camera, snap some pictures and then drop them back into the bowl. This dock then slurps the pictures from the cameras, wirelessly, and stores them in its heart. The dock even has a projector to show images during the event.
And what of those who refuse to use anything but their own camera? The Hitch dock has slots and Bluetooth to grab their images, too. Hopefully having the card reader right there in the room will encourage sharing.
But watch out if you go to one of Martin Spurway's parties: make sure to use a freshly-formatted card in your cam. Otherwise his Hitch might just grab and project those “arty” self portraits you took last night when you were naked and drunk.
