Body: <p>I would like to take photos on a mobile phone/webcam and upload them automatically when the photo is taken. Currently, I'm taking photos have it saved on my local desktop and upload them manually to my Craft site as asset. Just wondering if there's a way to upload directly from mobile phone/webcam without uploading it manually?</p>
