Rick,

Have you seen the IKPictureTaker class?  I haven't used it, but here's 
what the documentation says...

The IKPictureTaker class represents a panel that allows users to 
choose images by browsing the file system. The picture taker panel 
provides an Open Recent menu, supports image cropping, and supports 
taking snapshots from an iSight or other digital camera.

regards,

douglas
