If you are anything like me, and I know you are, you spend too much time fending off photogs hoping to get a glimpse of your famous face. OK, so maybe that’s just wishful thinking, but a guy can dream, right? The bottom-line, it seems like most celebs want to be famous and private at the same time, but those pesky paparazzi have ideas of their own. Talk about your conflicts of interest. What’s a star to do if they simply don’t want their 2am face flashed across the front page? Designer Adam Harvey has created a handbag that just might prove to be Kodak kryptonite.
I’m not really sure who this Harvey guy is, but he sure seems to be getting a lot of press lately. The tech blogs are abuzz about his anti-paparazzi bag and all of this exposure might have him in need of his own invention in no time. The technology is pretty simple. A light-sensing photovoltaic cell sewn into the bag is set to trigger at any sudden bright light. Basically, if it sees a flash it flashes back. The result is an obscuring burst of super-luminosity sure to blind even the most ardent star stalkers. I don’t know how it will perform during the day, but it is said to have settings that make it ideal for reaction to the slower shutter speeds used at night.

I know that the idea of making a celebrity’s life easier is pretty low on most of our priority lists. After all, it goes with the territory, right? But there is also a line between press coverage and down right invasion of privacy. Adam Harvey might soon become the celebrity poster child for the rights of the super-famous with his anti-paparazzi bag. Then again, it might just be a flash in the pan. There are rumors that the anti-flash technology might find its way into ties and smaller wearables in the near future. No price has been set (that we know of) but it’s my guess that if you are in a position to need it, you can afford it.
