Turns out Apple's iPhoto can use rendezvous to share photos between the ad-hoc network users.

F-Spot could do something similar. The rendezvous thing is released as source: http://developer.apple.com/macosx/rendezvous/ ([[http://www.opensource.apple.com/apsl/|APSL license]]).

Tuomas, Jakub, Jon, Larry and Anna have been in a norwegian zoo, taking pictures with their digital cameras. Later on they get together to have a look at each others' pictures. They each have their
laptops and as they sit around the table, each of them browsing their pictures with F-Spot, they see each other in the "Shared Pictures" folder. Jakub has a nice photo of the others zooming at something
interesting, and everyone wants a copy of the photo. So Jakub adds it to the "Shared Photos > Guadec5" folder on F-Spot and others can see it as "@Jimmac > Guadec5" in their F-Spot folder list. It is then
possible to drag it to the desktop or to one of your own folders to get a local copy of the image. Or just drag the entire folder to copy all pictures. They can quickly browse through each of their pictures this way.

Also, I wonder if there could be some generic "rendezvous" thing that also could work over remote connections? Sometimes it would be nice to stay "in touch" later on as well?
