The following is a procedure that streamlines the conversion process using the metadata power of Adobe’s DNG file format.

PhotoMaker

by karlcow

This small mashup uses YQL to combine the power of Flickr and Yahoo! Placemaker. Copy and paste some text into the textbox below and click the button — application will first geo-locate all places in the text, and then will try to find photographs, published under Creative Commons license, which were geotagged at or near found places.
