I have to say I really enjoyed this post as it reminded me of when I was working as a sports photographer for a national press agency.
It is also strange to think that photographers use common solutions to their problems, as I have been using the Pocket Phojo and a PDA for the last year to do remote transmitions, with the Nikon D2x or the Canon G9
(using
the G9 by swapping the memory card or just using the USB cable to view
the memory card while plugged into the camera; It does not automatically
send from the G9, like it does from the D2x)
With the Pocket Phojo software on a PDA and Canon G9 it makes for a
very compact reporting kit as the G9 can record audio and video good
enough for the web as well

The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: Photographers
For newspaper photographers, the single greatest advantage of dumping film has been faster and easier delivery of pictures.
Before that, a photographer on an away-job might turn his hotel en-suite into a makeshift darkroom, or pay a local mini-lab to stay open after-hours, then transmit one or two prints back to Sydney in a tedious over-the-phone process making you very late for dinner.
Sports photographers needed to work for several hours after full-time to get their pictures back to the paper, while now they can generally get away with the last of the fans.
A decade on, things have progressed to the point where you can transmit your photographs (live) from a smart-phone in your pocket, all the while continuing to shoot the action you were sent there to cover. Read More >>
Radical Images will be doing Live Reportage form this years Climate Camp at Kingsnorth, Kent

it Live' we are going to be reporting Live from the Camp, as yet some

Radical Images photographers are going to cover the Climate Camp 3rd August to the 11th August 2008 at Kingsnorth in Kent as part of our on going documentary of social change, as the Climate Camp puts it:
The world is changing.
Food riots abroad, house prices and pensions collapsing at home, energy prices skyrocketing worldwide. And slap bang in the middle of all of this - climate change - which the government and the power giant E.ON propose to make worse by building the UK's first coal-fired power station in 30 years at Kingsnorth in Kent.
Suddenly, the future we all thought we could count on seems very unlikely. Yes, the world is complex, but one thing is clear: the economy isn't working for the benefit of most of us. It's seemingly endless growth hasn't brought happiness. Indeed, through carbon emissions, it has brought us to the edge. We need to change course.
Do you think Brown or Cameron will put us on a radically different path? No, we don't either. So we're working on alternatives by working together collectively. When large numbers of determined and well-organised people get together they can turn things around, making a historic difference.
The world is changing and we feel it is our duty to document the change for history...
