Now that the idea of computer kiosk has come up, we have to
consider one of the many photo hosting services - like Flickr.

Maybe somebody who travels can comment on the practicalities of
uploading a gig or so of photos via a kiosk.

If it's practical, it would seem that no additional equipment is
needed - beyond enough cards to get from
kiosk-session-to-kiosk-session.

Uploading even 1GB takes forever, not really a good way to add memory.

Putting it on a hard drive seems to be a good way to go when you have
a lot of images that you will be dealing with.

If you ask a true master of photography how many photos they take in a
day, you are likely to find out that they take days per photograph.

Well I am not sure just what a true master of photography is, but if
you ask a photographer who shoots for National Geographic they will
tell you in the days of film they would shoot between 200 and 300
rolls of film for a two week assignment. In fact I seem to recall
reading on their site one of the way to get good photos it to take
lots of them.

I have done it both ways, taking just a few cards and deleting as I
needed more space and taking a hard drive to transfer to. Over all I
would rather not have to edit down my collection out in the field.

First you're going to Europe, now you're asking about Egypt.
Did you do geography at school?

I'll be going to both.....

Yeah, it really boils down to the laws of averages.

The more tickets you buys, the better your odds of hitting the
lottery.

I might buy another 8GB CF card, and i'm thinking of buying a
bunch
of blank DVD-Rs to record on. I'm sure i'll be able to find internet
kiosks
where ever i go.

I used something like that on a once-in-a-lifetime trip back to
Hawaii.

Worked well.

Only comment I'd have is that one is still exposed to theft.

My preference would be to have that plus a standalone DVD burner
so I could burn a DVD each night and mail it home.

In Cairo, excellent. Most large cities anywhere in the world would have
that facility. Now small towns in the rural areas or countries like
Bangladesh, probably not.

I wouldn't bet too much on that supposition. Go to even the smallest town in
Laos, Vietnam, or Cambodia, and you'll easily find a plethora of internet
joints, all equipped with burners, card reads, and headsets for skype. It's
often incongruous, but true.

I think memory cards are the best and cheapest way to go
