Aposematic-Jacket Screen Shot 2015-01-19 at 20.02.16 Screen Shot 2015-01-19 at 20.02.40

The Aposematic jacket, according to its creator Shinseungback Kimyonghun is a:

‘wearable camera for self-defense. The lenses on the jacket give off the warning signal, “I can record you”, to prevent possible attack. When the wearer pushes a button under threat, the jacket records the scene in 360 degrees and sends the images to the Web.’

Subtle.

Following on from the square Polaroid camera from yesterday [top pic]: the black version looked very familiar! With a little tweaking,  I present you – the Polaroid HAL9000 DSOTM model.

Cat-Photographer-1
Photographer Joseph C. Payro’s children – Edmund (12), Ernest (8) and Cecilia (5) – being ‘photographed’ by their cat in 1909.

‘Payro, you’re an idiot’, they said.  ‘A century from now, no one will care that you rubbed a kipper on the side of that Box Brownie!’

How wrong they were.

Behold the Dreaming Camera Café in the rural idyll of Gyeonggi-do province in South Korea, constructed in the style of a twin lens vintage Rolleiflex camera.

The world is a better place with such things in it.

Wildlife cameraman Brad Josephs sez:

When using a GoPro to capture unusually close footage of grizzly bears for the Great Bear Stakeout for BBC, I had a young bear actually chew on the camera. Amazingly there was no damage to the camera! Some of this clip appears in the film Great Bear Stakeoout on BBC and Discovery Channel.

Warning: Grizzly bears do not floss.

Mountaineer Mark Roberts slipped and tumbled down Paisley Fern Gully in Wales. Thanks to his helmetcam, which recorded the whole ordeal in stomach-churning detail, he survived with an intact skull and nothing more than a few cuts and bruises.

In 1949, Pablo Picasso was introduced to LIFE magazine photographer Gjon Mili, who showed the artist his shots of ice skaters jumping in the dark with lights fixed to their skates.

Fascinated, Picasso conceived a series of light drawings created with a small electric light shot by two separate cameras.
