<br>
together with a group of Swiss, German and Finnish colleagues I'm <br>
currently researching into cameras from a cultural studies <br>
perspective. One thing I'm trying to get a better understanding of are <br>
early mobile phone cameras and their images. I'm in particular <br>
interested in pre-smartphone photography, and I wonder whether you can <br>
help me out:<br>
<br>
# I couldn't find a library of photographs taken with camera-equipped <br>
phones. Would you know if there is one? If there is none and you have <br>
such photographs (and also videos) somewhere - would you mind sharing <br>
some with me (if available with information about the phone used)?<br>
<br>
# Would you know of a place collecting the tech specifications of <br>
these early phones? I'm particularly interested in whether .jpg was <br>
consistently used as a format or, if not, which other formats were in <br>
use.<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance<br>
Friedrich<br>
