Are photos coming to Gowalla?  It looks that way as this screenshot from the Gowalla API demonstrates.  I was making some bug fixes when I noticed 2 new fields against a users data: “photos_count” and “photos_url”.  I thought this might relate to a users avatar to begin with but no users I tried had a photo count over 0.  That’s when I decided to test account #1 (belonging to Scott Raymond who is the Chief Technical Officer) and found he had 4 photos assigned to him.  Following the “photos_url” gave me some more information (after logging in) including links to the images themselves and (crucially) datestamps confirming that these photos were taken in the last 2 days.

Looks like photos could be coming either as a feature to be turned on in the recently released Gowalla 1.5 or perhaps in the next version!
