DESCRIPTION

[0028] Referring now to FIG. 5, there is illustrated a flow diagram 500 of a method of scheduling photography, contracting for photography services, payment, and distribution of photos between parties on computer system (Mobile Photography Device) via Mobile Picture Device & Scheduler computer system. In block or step 510, providing Mobile Picture Device & Scheduler Application thereon server system 260, such as Mobile Picture Device & Scheduler computer system. In block or step 515, downloading/launching Application to user system 220, 222, 224, such as computer system (Mobile Photography Device) from server system 260 via network 250. In block or step 520, finding a third-party user(s) on user systems 222, 224 proximate to your, user system 220, map location who will take your photo(s) with user system 222, 224. Server system 260 determines and displays third-party user(s) on user systems 222, 224 proximate to your, user system 220 thereon user system 220. In block or step 525, selecting/scheduling a third-party user(s) from user system 222 proximate to your, user system 220, map location and having the desired photographic equipment to take your photo(s) with user system 222. User system 220 transmits a selection user system 222 to server system 260. In block or step 525, agreeing to commercial transaction terms of service, such as photo format, editing, file size, duration, location, ownership, compensation, and the like terms for the photography session.
