00007  * @brief Abstract base class for containing the event information.
00008  *
00009  * PhotosEvent contains virtual methods, which need to be implemented
00010  * by the appropriate interface class to the event record. An object of
00011  * PhotosEvent type should be created by the user and processed
00012  * via the process() method.
