Abstract

A system for associating a prerecorded audio snippet with a photograph, includes: an audio data base containing a plurality of audio snippets, each snippet having a corresponding identification code. A scene identification display includes an identification code associated with the scene. A camera having a sensor for sensing the identification code on the display includes a memory for storing the identification code in association with a photograph of the scene taken by the camera. The audio snippet corresponding to the identification code is retrieved from the audio data base and reproduced in conjunction with the display of the photograph.
