21 Jun

While many American cities have experienced the pains of a large population shift from the urban core to suburbs, there’s a poignancy to the abandoned storefronts in downtown Rochester, New York. The city’s name is inextricably tied to the name Eastman Kodak. Swiss photographer Catherine Leutenegger spent time photographing Rochester and Kodak’s headquarters, first in 2007 and again in 2012, and answered a few of our questions about the project.

Kodak famously failed to adapt to the transition from film to digital photography, and finally stopped making digital cameras in early 2012. Now the famous old brand has been resurrected by JK Imaging Ltd, which is producing cameras in partnership with Asia Optical. We got a quick look at some of the 2014 product portfolio earlier this year at CES but this week we had a more detailed briefing at a European press event. Click through to take a closer look.

Images from the past: Circular snapshots from the Kodak 1

06 Oct

The first consumer point-and-shoots didn’t have art effect modes or face detection smile-shutters. They looked like the Kodak 1, a leather-encased box with a key to wind the film, a shutter release and not much else. Introduced to the public in 1888, each Kodak 1 contained a roll of film with 100 exposures. The National Media Museum owns a collection of prints from these first consumer ‘compacts.’ Click through to take a look at a set of these early snapshots.

Perez issued a statement emphasizing Kodak’s move into commercial imaging for a profitable future, including “packaging, functional printing and professional services.” Click through to read more about where Kodak now stands.

Kodak hopes to sell its consumer film and processing kiosk businesses to its UK pension scheme, to allow it to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The move pays off the company’s biggest debt – an estimated $ 2.8bn it was expected to have to pay to the pension scheme over the coming years. The pension scheme is reported to be paying $ 650 for the Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging units the company announced it would sell last August.
