The script goes through a series of steps:
1. Uses
gphoto2
to detect the camera.
2. Asks you to press Enter, and when you do, it tells the camera to take a photo,
which it saves locally.
3. Applies a watermark to the lower-right corner of the photo.
4. Uploads the photo to the server you specify.
5. Generates a QR code that points to the image's URL so that your subjects can
download their photos easily by scanning the QR code with their phones.
