I remember my father had a darkroom of his own in the late '80s, and I was completely blown away by the process of developing a photograph. He stopped using it and when he did I said, give it to me, all of it, including your camera. And as much as I love digital photography, I will always take 2 pictures, when possible, one with my digital camera or phone and one with my dads old camera. The beauty is...my kid LOVES the 'old' way of making and developing pictures :)
This series was excellent. It seems that in today's world things go so fast that we forget how it once was and whose shoulders on whom we stand. This was a great way to be able to reckon our place in the timeline.
Great series explaining the development of photographic technologies and processes. Have found it immensely useful in my studies in photography class. Thank you to George Eastman Museum for making these videos.
great series ...what my college teachers couldnt teach us.... these videos did...george eastman house should consider making a series for conservation students on deterioration and conservation practices for photographs !
Love it when she say "When you have a digital image! What is the thing that you have? You have... um... code or something." HAHAH!! that line is pure gold! #purists
Robert Shanebrook, a former Kodak manager, has produced a wonderful book, Making Kodak Film. When they knew film production was declining, Kodak allowed him to photograph and document the formerly secret film manufacturing process. You can purchase the book at his web site. I highly recommend the second edition. www.makingkodakfilm.com/index.html
Well, I love good HDR, so digital it's my craft, but I'm with you, make a permanent object with light printed always will be beauiful. In this days it's only printed in magazines or for comercial pourpose, but I guess that someday somebody will find a cheap and easy solution to print digital images and then the culture will become greater. Many thanks for this incredible knowledge, let me know if I can help translating and sharing this content in spanish.
I dunno, even if I print a photograph with a printer (even quality prints) I often feel like they're meaningless because I didn't put my hands in that work literally. Yet this is what I really like, no one can tell whether the photo was taken that way or if it's processed. It's superflat and only someone with an eye for photography can tell whether it was made by a photographer or a person with a camera by certain criteria. This is another point where (digital) photography has to prove being art
From what I've seen (and I have a science background in that I did a physics degree) film has plenty of pluses on the image front, especially when you consider simultaneously how our visual intelligence works.
No different than the same young people who believe violence and censorship will stop bigotry. You don't have to risk death any more to help your fellow man. Bull!
you need a paper print of the media in order fro extra protection prints of digital photos are offered. The machine could break down and that would be the end of your life. This is why you have a sd card to extra protect this .Machine can break done easy ,unless you got a storage protector ,you are taking risk not adding to there medias. The reason why you got those who don't wan to make print is just to save money and space for other things s .If they don't have storage for protection ,the camera breaks down that is the end I make prints and put my phot on both dvd and blu- ray for extra protection.one time I got cheap lu ray disk and in 6 month gone!, but I had the s,d card ,the humidity destroy the images due to inferiority from china. Don't take fro granted your easy digital photos protect them ask much possible for future viewing .Put them in other medias too .
Thanks for not putting ads on this series!

Having a camera doesn’t make you a photographer same way owning a sports car doesn’t make you a racing driver.
don't go away film!
I think the recent resurgence of instant cameras (Polaroid Originals, Fujifilm Instax, etc.) is proof that it's not going away any time soon.

And then Kodak invents the very technology that brings its decline lol. Pandora's box.
I'm still going to shoot film along side digital though.

@@LevonBlueoak What said had nothing to do with photography but had really belong on another subject, but, one needs paper as much as digital.
