| This paper explores the embodied interactional ways in which people naturally collaborate around and share collections of photographs. We employ ethnographic studies of paper-based photograph use to consider requirements for distributed collaboration around digital photographs. Distributed sharing is currently limited to the ‘passing on ’ of photographs to others, by email, webpages, or mobile phones. To move beyond this, a fundamental challenge for photoware consists of developing support for the practical achievement of sharing ‘at a distance’. Specifically, this entails augmenting the natural production of accounts or ‘photo-talk ’ to support the distributed achievement of sharing. | |||||||||||||||||
