If you take lots of photographs you should investigate if you can add geographic coordinates to them, either directly with the cameras or by recording the positions with a seperate device. However, at least for me, there is a big difference between taking a snapshot, typically with a mobile phone, for surveying purposes and a photograph that I would want to show somebody else. A further possibility is to contribute to mapillary.com the photographs and sequences stored there are available to OSM contributors for improving our map data. The best way to locate mappers nearby is http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc?zoom=10&lat=40.92312&lon=-100.16213&layers=B00TFFFFFT however as you will see, you are fairly on your own in Nebraska.
