Day 86 of 365 - George Eastman was the inventor of roll film and founded the Eastman Kodak company. He brought photography to the masses with affordable, easy-to-use cameras including these classics Kodaks in my collection. From left to right - the Jiffy Six-16 Series 1 (1933-37), the Brownie Target Six-16, and the Brownie Target Six-20 (1946-1952). In addition to photography Eastman was a major philanthropist, establishing the Eastman School of Music, and schools of dentistry and medicine at the University of Rochester; contributing to the construction of MIT’s second campus on the Charles River, and donating to Tuskegee and Hampton universities. For the last two years of his life, he was in intense pain, caused by a degenerative disorder affecting his spine. On March 14, 1932, Eastman died by suicide leaving a note which read, “To my friends: my work is done. Why wait?” #georgeeastman #kodak #cameracollection #cameracollector #photography #photooftheday #365photochallenge #monthofcameras #monochromemadness (at Virginia Beach, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHwnqEBUix/?igshid=zsktjy903y6s -- source link
