title: Windows Phone 8 Obtain Taken Photos From Phone Library
body: <p>I am scouring the internet on how to do this from within my app. There seems to be quite a few guides like the following one:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/microsoft.xna.framework.media.medialibrary.aspx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, they use XNA to tap into the MediaLibrary. Unfortunately in Windows Phone 8, this is not available (at least to me).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to obtain the photos already taken by the phone camera app and also save into that folder from the app?</p>
  
  <p>I apologize for having somewhat of a vague question. Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
