Because I'm convinced it needs a level of moderation that would end up
requiring that we host the photos anyway. Also flickr (for instance)
costs money above 200 (I think) photos. I would hope that someone
(possibly me) would write something to let you suck images in from
flickr when the OSV API can provide for that.

This is a great idea, but why not just use Flickr or some similar
photo site that offers an API for geotagged photos?
The only unique thing we'd need to add is a method of recording the
orientation (X degrees from magnetic north, Y degrees inclination, Z
degrees field of view) of the photo at a given position (if known)
so that we can later build a StreetView-type interface for these
images.
Such information could be stored with Flickr's API as machine tags.

So, after talking about my ideas for an OpenStreetView project at
SOTM way back in July I've finally got things together enough to
launch a site. I announced it on [email protected] a few days
ago to get some initial opininos but I think it's time to get a few
more people looking at it. It does seem to be running a bit slow and
I didn't have a huge amount of success with processing large numbers
of photos earlier today but I want to get more images live on it by
the time I give a talk about it on Thursday morning so I'll give you
all a chance to get uploading. Please take a look at the email below
for more instructions, it's definitely not perfect but it's
functional for some specific uses.
