The First “Camera Phone” Photograph, 1997

On June 11, 1997 Kahn took the first “camera phone” photo of his newborn daughter in a maternity ward. and then wirelessly transmitted the photo to more than 2,000 people around the world. Since “camera phones” didn’t exist at that time, Kahn actually hacked together a primitive one by combining a digital camera and a cell phone to send the photos in real time.
