My 'mom' mobile app allows places and waypoints to have photos (and  
audio recordings) linked to them. This was intended to aid data  
collection but if someone implemented photos (and audio notes?) in  
OSM it shouldn't be difficult to adapt mom to it.

locr is another existing service, but it's the idea if integrating  
photos into OSM which appeals.
