George Eastman
George Eastman is best remembered for his very significant invention
which is the Kodak camera . Through his invention , he made photography
easy and inexpensive to people . Although George Eastman was a dropout
from school , he was able to support his mother and his two sisters , one
of whom was severely handicapped . His father died early when he was 14 ,
which is why he had to drop from school . He then worked in an insurance
company and then in a local bank where he served as a clerk . Using his
ability and creative mind , he invented the first camera which was
powered by a roll film . A few years later , he successfully directed his
own Eastman Kodak Company .
His exposure in photography started when he was 24 when he planned to
visit Sto . Domingo together with his co-worker . Before the vacation , he
was advised to record their trip so he prepared photographic outfits and
materials that are big and complicated . From there , he concentrated in
making the long process of photography simple while he was employed as a
clerk . After three years , he was able to finish his dry plate formula
and patented machines for producing more plates and sold it to
photographers .
However , his business collapsed when he had to replace dry plates which
were destroyed . Afterwards , he used lighter and more flexible support
than glass . More developments followed when he used the coat of
photogrphic emulsion on paper and loaded it in a roll holder . He again
changed the paper into a transparent roll film and roll holder and the
first roll film camera was devised . Various advertisements of his work
ensued .
In 1888 , the Kodak camera was formally introduced and his statement ,
``you press the button , we do the rest ' became a well- known phrase .
His ingenuity has made the usually expensive photography available to
all . Aside from that , George Eastman is known also as a philanthropist
for giving away his fortune . One of his great contributions is the
Rochester Institute of Technology .
