Much of the
credit for popularizing photography
|
|
|
goes to George
Eastman (1854-1932). He
|
|
|
began as a bank
clerk in Rochester, NY, and
|
|
|
built his
Eastman Kodak Company into a great
|
|
|
enterprise it
is today.
|
|
|
• |
In 1884
Eastman invented the equipment to mass produce roll
|
|
film.
“Eastnman’s American Film” was a roll of paper coated
|
|
|
with thin
gelatin emulsion.
|
|
|
• |
Roll film made
possible a new kind of camera - inexpensive,
|
|
|
light and
simple - that made everyone a potential
|
|
|
photographer.
