First Mobile Phone Picture (1997)
Waiting around for his wife to give birth, Philippe Kahn wrote some code on his laptop for his mobile then attached a digital camera to the phone. He captured his daughter's very first moments in a landmark occasion. Three years later in 2000, he had refined his prototype and Sharp was the first company to sell a mobile phone with a built-in camera.

My Ma had a Fiesta XR2 with the pepper pot wheels. After the Cortina of course. Traded in for a Chevette 3 door, then 5 door. I think it’s a Gemini elsewhere in the world.
I surely remember the “Rattler” - my grandfather’s MK2 Escort estate with a 1.6 pinto. We journeyed from London to Devon at about 55mph and I sat in the back on the luggage and demanded that my Bad album (5 track cassette) was played the whole 8 hour journey.
Nobody on that journey will ever forget the lyrics to P.Y.T lol.

My oldest car was an '83 (BMW 635CSi), bought it in about 2002 though. Also had an '83 520i as well.

I keep thinking "Why are they not wrecking?" Then I remember this is England, where everything is backward.

East London, Dagenham c.1983.
My maternal family before I existed.
Left to right - my dad, eldest aunt sitting, mum in the middle, aunt with my cousin John and my grandad with a rare cigarette (he was a pipe smoker). My youngest aunt was behind the camera. And my nan was in the kitchen making (probably) the worst meal anyone in London had eaten that day.
