4. The server of claim 1 , wherein the geolocation information comprises at least one of temperature indicia for the geolocation, date indicia for the geolocation, and time indicia for the geolocation.
5. The server of claim 1 , wherein the at least one photograph filter further incorporates indicia associated with the geolocation.
6. The server of claim 5 , wherein the indicia comprises brand indicia of a third party associated with the geolocation.
7. The server of claim 1 , wherein the selection is further based on explicitly stated preferences supplied by the user.
8. The server of claim 7 , wherein the selection is further based on prior use patterns of the user.
9. A method comprising:
identifying when a client device captures a photograph;
selecting a plurality of photograph filters based at least in part on geolocation information received from the client device, the plurality of photograph filters incorporating the geolocation information received from the client device;
supplying the plurality of photograph filters to the client device, wherein the plurality of photograph filters are configured to be individually selectable for sequential presentation on a display of the client device and are not presented on the display of the client device until a gesture is applied to the display of the client device by a user, and then are sequentially overlaid on top of the photograph to augment the photograph in response to the gesture of the user applied to the display of the client device.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein further comprising receiving a selection of the at least one photograph filter from the client device and route the photograph augmented with the at least one photograph filter to another client device.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the receiving of the selection of the at least one photograph filter comprises receiving an indication that the user has applied the gesture to the photograph while the photograph is presented on a display of the client device.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the geolocation information comprises at least one of temperature indicia for the geolocation, date indicia for the geolocation, and time indicia for the geolocation.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one photograph filter further incorporates indicia associated with the geolocation.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the indicia comprises brand indicia of a third party associated with the geolocation.
15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the selection is further based on explicitly stated preferences supplied by the user.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the selection is further based on prior use patterns of the user.
17. A server, comprising:
a photograph filter module with instructions executed by a processor to:
identify when a client device captures a photograph;
select a plurality of photograph filters based at least in part on geolocation information received from the client device;
supply the plurality of photograph filters to the client device, wherein the plurality of photograph filters are configured to be individually selectable for sequential presentation on a display of the client device and are not presented on the display of the client device until a gesture is applied to the display of the client device by a user, and then are sequentially overlaid on top of the photograph to augment the photograph in response to the gesture of the user applied to the display of the client device.
