Help me out. What's the best way to host a pic from my cellphone?

Quick report:
The Gamechanger has already over-delivered. I have a 25th already and it's just similar enough to feel familiar in my hands but different enough to be unique. The tonal options are beyond what I was thinking. I've only had a couple of hours on the web app and I already love what I can do. Gonna gig with it tonight in place of my 25th...that's how good it is. I haven't left the 25th at home in a couple years.

Y2D is exactly what I wanted. It sounds a little beefier than my old SM. I thought the maple would actually make it a little brighter but it's just what has been described; a slightly heavier tone than steve's older design. Speaking of heavy...I'm surprised by how much it weighs. Much heavier than either of the other two. The purple sunset is breathtaking. Way nicer in person than the pics can convey. She's coming to the gig tonight.

Armada: Well, I've never owned a guitar like this and it's going to take some getting used to. The tone, action, sustain, finish are all amazing. However it feels significantly different in my hands than my other stable of EBMM axes so it's going to be a studio queen for awhile while I get used to it. Tone? Exactly what I was expecting but even more. It really sounds great...it just takes me a minute or two to find the knobs and the location of the strap buttons makes it hang on your body much differently than all my other MM's. I think this ball was meant to hang low (so to speak) and I typically keep my balls up and tight. Not a complaint, just an observation. Did I mention it sounds amazing. I can't quit playing her but until I build some new habits she'll stay in the studio.

Interesting. I'd add when they first appeared, or right before, SMB was touring and Steve had it but only played it on one song IONIZED from Full Circle IIRC.
And to my ears that song sounded by far the best tonally of all his songs that night

That's a killer purchase...

It would be awesome to see pics :)

And I agree that the std SM and the Y2D are very different. Maple surely does its part in adding bright to the tone. I love both.
