Abstract
The disclosed methods and apparatus provide venues such as merchandising, service, or cultural venues with the opportunity to widen the circle of patrons by annotating images captured at or nearby the venues with information about the venues. Venues may build patron loyalty by rewarding patrons who transmit or post the images, as well as those who view the annotated images. The annotations may serve as advertisements and marketing tools.
