An age ago we implemented such a thing for an Austrian political party 
during elections. We used MMS and had to set a custom MMS proxy which is 
nothing more than a HTTP server accepting POST requests.

Nowadays I would solve such a thing by simply sending an email to an 
address handled by the server. The server can either extract the message 
contents in realtime upon reception using ".procmailrc" and by piping 
the mails into a script (similar to the direct_mail returnmail feature). 
Or by some scheduler script which connects to an IMAP server and 
retrieves and handles all new messages.

Another solution would be to create your own App which allows to take 
photos and directly HTTP-POSTs them to some configured URL. Maybe such a 
thing already exists ...


greetings,
Bernhard
