This is the basic idea: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/b/7b1b5fd5a3a8c756542b065048f3952fa2774264.png) I used two buttons instead of two screens but you’re basically storing the photo as a variable and then using the variable again on the second screen (or in this case, second button click). Note that this will only allow you to store and display one photo at a time. If you want to store a bunch of photos that are taken, you’ll need to upload them to a service such as cloudinary (or Airtable). ---

Exactly how I showed above. On the first screen, use the `initialize` and `Take Photo` blocks. On the second screen, use the `Display image` block. ---
