Cool. So, if I take a picture at the mall, the picture stays at the mall? Meaning, other people that go to the mall will see that picture? Or is the picture available to people near wherever I happen to be?

Neat. I've seen services similar to this, but not for awhile. Not sure what their statuses were. One in particular was focused around audio and text. You could, effectively, leave a 'tip' or 'message' for the area a person was in, so that if I was walking around and came across or near a geopoint that had been 'tagged', I'd get an alert on my phone with whatever message was left, so like "Hey, Joe's Sandwiches are in the alley on 7th. It's hard to find, but worth it" or such.

I'm sorry I can't remember the names of any of these, but it's been awhile.

Sounds neat. Are you planning to do just pictures, or could you extend it to other media types?

In the beginning I was thinking about photos and videos, later I decided to focus on pictures then wait and see. If things go well with the pictures, definitely going to do the videos as well, if it doesn't, well I tried.
