Digital image communication

A system for enhancing group communication includes a computer server for receiving a first digital from a remote client. The server analyzes the first image to determine one or more first image attributes and communicates the image to one or more recipients. Communication information including image attributes, email addresses, and names of the recipients is stored. When a second image is received the server analyzes it to determine its attributes and forms second image communication information relevant to the second image. The second communication information includes data from the first image communication information, its image attributes, and one or more separate second image recipients.
