Kodaks first digital camera



This is Kodak’s first digital camera made by the Kodak Apparatus Division Research Laboratory in 1975.

It was a camera that didn’t use any film to capture still images – a camera that would capture images using a CCD imager and digitize the captured scene and store the digital info on a standard cassette. It took 23 seconds to record the digitized image to the cassette. The image was viewed by removing the cassette from the camera and placing it in a custom playback device. This playback device incorporated a cassette reader and a specially built frame store. This custom frame store received the data from the tape, interpolated the 100 captured lines to 400 lines, and generated a standard NTSC video signal, which was then sent to a television set.

SHEEEEETTTTT GREAT CONCEPT




In 2003, Florian Jenett and Valentin Beinroth placed about 50 handgun replicas in downtown Frankfurt. The guns were made from tinted ice, making them look real at first sight.
In 2009 they did a new edition of their Freeze! project but made the guns eatable by using coke, licorice, cherry and food coloring.

Sarkozy yes, but his half-brother : Olivier Sarkozy, who recently re-did and listed (by Michael Bolla of Luxury Lofts & Homes) this chic loft-style carriage house of the UES for $11,950,000.
