Picture Attachments

Allow the admin to attach pictures to a volunteer's profile. This would be pretty awesome if it could be handled entirely from the rails app using a webcam. Chrome has exposed this using the "getUserMedia" javascript function.

@tbrooke mentioned that requiring Chrome is not a problem for the mission, but we should have a fallback in place if we do the webcam integration.

Does anyone have a preference for paperclip or carrier wave? Also where should we store pictures, S3, rackspace? We need to account for local storage if not deploying on Heroku.

Chrome 23 now has WebRTC, which includes the getUserMedia functions to access the camera. http://sites.google.com/site/webrtc/home
