Just don't forget that you're dealing with problems caused by growth and demand. You're basically being crushed by latent, pent up demand. I feel your pain. But I have to say, having problems for those reasons can't be all bad.
And, if high quality photos are your issue, talk to Pete Warden over at Jetpac. He's wicked smart, friendly, in SF, and deals with high quality travel photos on Jetpac.
Or (And?), talk to AirBnB. They deal with photos, are in SF, and are also YC alums. Don't you all have each other on speed dial?
As a founder, I wish I had your problems. But, I have to say, I also wish I had your level of access to potential solutions and advisors.
My YC interview is on Sunday. Hopefully by Monday we'll have each other on speed dial. :)

- iron_ball 13y agoSole OP response in a thread full of questions.
- nwenzel 13y agoEmail sent with phone number. Thanks! Can't say how much I appreciate it. But, I'll try. Pumped for Sunday! Pumped for phone call today!
- nwenzel 13y agoThanks again Jason. Your advice and insights were very helpful. I feel obligated to pass on what I learned: 1) Don't forget what it's like to not have your background in your industry. 2) Be very good at explaining what you do. Succinctly. Clearly. And be able to give that explanation without assuming prior industry knowledge (see point 1). 3) If it takes a long time to explain who your customer is, you're doing it wrong. 4) Don't forget that YC partners are also looking for your potential on demo day.
