The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a sweeping ban on handguns in the nation’s capital violated the Second Amendment right to bear arms. In Berlin a man named Julius von Bismarck turned a gun into something productive…kind of..

Bismarck uses his oddly named camera-mod to project images onto a street sign or wall where they appear in the photos of strangers, but remain invisible to their eyes.

How does it work? He triggers his flash, which fires through the back of the camera, through a film slide containing his slogan and out through the lens at the front. It works because the camera is pretty much a projector in reverse, and the light-graffiti is fired at the exact same moment when someone is taking a picture. As a result, it ends up in their photograph and people scratching their heads.

NIECEE’s TAKE AWAYS:

• Mix Mash: Customization. Bismarck took the concept of a gun and customized his camera to create an innovative product.
