Event Photo

I think it would be cool to have a website where... everyone that takes a photo at a specific event can tag or upload their photos so that everyone else can share in that photo.  What I mean is...

When you go to an event, like for example we just had the pope in Philly, or I was just at Celtic Fest, or there was that spectacular blood moon thing.

I've noticed that we're starting to share these greater experiences as one.  We're all watching each other post things online of all the same things...

But it's all scattered across various social media sites.  There's no order to the chaos.  There's photos here and there.  And they aren't properly synced up.  Or indexed.

If I wanted to, say, show me all photos of the blood moon taken in Philly.  Or all Pope pix... It would be a pain to search and find that.

Or show me all photos of a concert I went to, because I want to see if someone else got a better shot of my favorite artist on stage.  Or that one moment when that artist invited a special guest up on stage and I happened to be in the bathroom when that occurred, and my friend's phone broke.  And I got someone's cell number to swap photos but the number was transfixed and some old grumpy guy named Herman picks up.

But what if there were an event site where you could upload or tag all the photos that you take for others to enjoy.  What if you took the same photo as someone else, but yours was better.  Or maybe theirs was!

Now you both have the best photo of the two.  And maybe now you two can be friends too!

Maybe you get to vote on the best photos.

Let's say there's a fireworks display and a thousand people all went to watch and take photos.  You all upload your photos to the site... Let's say out of the 10 photos that EACH person took, or the 10 thousand total photos, there were 100 that were AMAZING.

Now every single one of those thousand people have those 100 amazing photos from that experience to share together.

Event photo... dot com... or something.

Maybe I'll work on a business model.  I'm not sure if it would take existing sites and pull photos into it, or if people would need to upload photos to this site in addition to the other places they post to: Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Tumblr...

Maybe I'll call this site Eventr... seems to be a theme.

Or maybe I'll reverse it and call it REvent.  Because you're reliving an event.

REvent, sounds cool.  reVENT... no... that just sounds like a site to vent to strangers all day long.  Although that might be a good site too.  We just post complaints to random strangers and we all just reply to each other and vent to each other anonymously.

Hmm...

Actually that's not bad either.  Wow.  I'm just full of ideas, I am.

Well there you have it.  So the next time you're venting about how you wish you had a better photo of an event you were at over the weekend...

There's REvent and reVENT.

Actually, I just went to google the word "Photo" to add a stock image to this blog, and I misspelled it as phtoo and then it wanted me to put in .com.  Phtoo.com seems to be available to purchase, sort of... "phtoo.com expired on 09/18/2015 and is pending renewal or deletion".  Maybe I'll call it that?  Phtoo, pronounced: Fii-Too.
