ABSTRACT
This paper describes a novel variation on an established social science research method, photo elicitation. We developed two visualizations of large numbers of cameraphone images, by time and sharing partner. The result was much richer and more detailed interviews than would have been possible otherwise. This method may be appropriate for other user studies where photo diaries are useful, and can be implemented using available photo organizing applications.

When participants do the capturing: the role of media in diary studies
CHI '05: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper, we investigate how the choice of media for capture and access affects the diary study method. The diary study is a method of understanding participant behavior and intent in situ that minimizes the effects of observers on participants. We ...
