National Photography Day

In 1888 when George Eastman patented his camera, the selling price for the Kodak box camera was $25. Today, that same camera would cost about $680, the price of a low-end smartphone that not only takes photos but also provides a lifeline for many! His box camera was 7” x 4” x 3.5” image carrying that around to snap a picture of your dinner. Progress? You be the judge.
