...their current market positions. Kodak Eastman Kodak was started in 1888 when the first Kodak camera introduced and was available for sale to the public. The company was started by George Eastman in Rochester, NY, when Eastman was in his mid-twenties. George Eastman grew up poor and was a high school dropout, but that did not stop him from making money and supporting his widowed mother and two sisters by the time he was 14 years old (History of, 2013). When Eastman was 24 years old, he had planned a trip to Santo Domingo, and had an idea to record the trip. Eastman purchased a large, heavy camera that was as big as a microwave (History of, 2013). Eastman never made the trip to Santo Domingo, but he did become obsessed with photography, and how he could make it simpler to understand. Before Eastman Kodak was formed, George Eastman had started a company, making dry photographic plates, which later lead to the idea of a convenient, simple to use camera that would become known as the Kodak. After the Kodak camera was introduced in 1888, the young company quickly grew. Eastman was big on advertising in newspapers, and periodicals, and he even made up his own phrase for the company, “You press the button, we do the rest” (History of, 2013). By 1897, Eastman Kodak was being advertised all over the world and would eventually become a major corporation. In 2012, Eastman Kodak filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy,...

...First Impressions Axia College of University of Phoenix XCOM 200 Julie Harris November 3, 2013 First Impressions Summary My immediate responses to the slides were primarily positive, with the exception of slides six and eleven. Some of those immediate responses were because of familiarity with issues or occurrences, or similar experiences. For some my initial response was on target. The positive images were things that made me smile, I recognized, or the assumptions I made were accurate. The negative responses were to slides that made me uncomfortable or sad as soon as I saw them. For example, the black and white photo I immediately thought of Martin Luther King, especially because of all the clergy representation, and I instantly put it all together. I was happy to see I was correct. On the negative side, pictures that I first saw which made me smile, such as the children who looked to be celebrating and playing, felt like a big letdown, when I read the information and found they were in reality, demonstrating, and I was sad about that. My perception changed on a few when I read the information, some of...

...The Fine Line Between Art and Truth Photo manipulation has been around for over a century, but the recent focus on Photoshop has caused news photography to be looked at in a new light. As a result, pictures that have been manipulated have been called into question, and therefore have had a significant effect on the credibility of various forms of print media. In this new age of media, where circulation is down and corporations are cutting employees, credibility is a much talked about commodity. Although photo manipulation has a great effect on the credibility of media, it should be considered an art form and given a certain amount of freedom. To accurately understand the argument, the history of pre-Photoshop manipulation opens the paper, followed by modern manipulation and the backlash it has caused, what credibility is, how newspapers are addressing photo manipulation, and how modern manipulation should be handled and the standards that it is held to. Photoshop is a tool that has made the practice of photo manipulation both easy and affordable. But what is photo manipulation? It is simply altering an original image, taking the negative or digital image and changing it in some way. This practice has always been common, as photographers have enhanced lighting or used filters to eliminate a certain color. However, in the context of this paper most of the examples addressed deal with the current, narrower view of photo manipulation. According to the 2006 edition of Merriam...

...Analyzing Visuals Advertisement: The advertisement shown by the Salvation Army is a depressing and a sad work of art. The first item that catches the viewer’s attention is the window placed in the top left corner. This gives an impression of hope for maybe; poverty would not be a life-sentencing situation to all mankind. Maybe, the families experiencing poverty will have a chance to view the modern world and experience the nature. In contrast to the main idea of hope, there are lines in the room, which may represent the days that they have experienced poverty and no one shall go through the same thing by the looks of their emotionless faces. Artwork: The Three Sphinxes of Bikini, is a beautiful and a dangerous work of art. The first thing that catches my eyes is the enormous explosions by the nuclear bombs in the United States. However, not every explosion look the exact same. The second explosive with the green color shade may represent the trees, a form of nature. The destruction of two hundred Micronesians, have a reason why the nature will be a huge factor. Referring back to nature, we can see the black color from the background that represents the increase in level of radioactivity, which could harm the country by being a major contributor to the world. Photograph: Kevin Carter’s, A Vulture watches a starving child, is a very emotional photograph. The point of view of the vulture symbolizes the dominance over the child who struggles to survive each day. It gives an interpretation...

And the idea that the presence of a professional camera makes you a professional photographer put into heads of modern youth.

...A kiss In modern day society and western culture, seeing two people intertwined in a kiss happens on a daily basis without any second thought. It is an action that almost everyone engages in at some point in their life. However, a kiss can have multiple meanings, as shown in the pictures above. A kiss can have many cultural connotations depending on the cultural context and can mean a variety of things including the expression of love, passion, affection, friendship, or good luck. In each of the pictures above, a different emotion is being expressed, but the bottom line remains that a kiss knows no color, no race, no sexual orientation, or class. A kiss is universal. In the first photo, a viewer may notice the black and white couple first, or the fact that the photograph was taken in black and white, but it is obvious that the main focus of this picture is the kiss. The first feelings that may be invoked would be a feeling of love because that’s what a kiss is commonly known for. After reading the caption underneath the photo, the kiss itself takes on an entirely new meaning. This photo was taken in the spring of 1965, in Washington, D.C., of Richard and Mildred Delores Loving, an interracial couple defying the idea of right and wrong as defined by the Racial Integrity Act of 1959 in the Common wealth of Virginia. When you look at the photo, you notice the man is pulling the woman into her as if he wants to protect her from the harm and pain she might endure...

...Audience Connection: All of us who want children, hope to be a good parent. We all hope our children will be afforded opportunities and choices we were not. We also would like our children to be happier in their lives than we are in ours. Speaker Credibility: I began my journey into fatherhood on 15 February 2007. For the last 6 years I have been struggling with the balance between trying to raise a happy child, while developing a mind of functioning member of society. Presentational Aid: I will be using the mastermind Soundwave, the brains behind the evil decepticons. I will attempt to transform him from vehicle state to humanoid form and return him to vehicle state, while keeping eye contact with the audience. Demonstarting my ability to multi-task, while displaying my expertise as a child playmate. Audience Connection: To some extent, all of us enjoy pictures of our memorable times (as my audience analysis reveals), and quite often we don’t do anything with the pictures after they are developed. Many people mentioned (in the audience analysis) that they store photos in a drawer or shoe box. My speech offers an alternative. Even if someone is not creative, this is an easy hobby - just about anyone can do it…and it is fun! Speaker Credibility: I was on my high school yearbook staff as editor for 2 years, and in that time I learned the true value of a photograph. From that point on, I began taking pictures of everything, but I never did anything with them. Then I discovered...

... Kodak and Fujifilm are both well-known companies in the households of the United States and across the world. These two companies are each other’s main competition in the film market. They have been competing with each other for years. George Eastman, who was the founder of Kodak, was a lover of the photo taking procedure and wanted to simplify the photography process. Eastman established the Kodak Company in 1880. The Kodak Company was built on four basic principles: mass production at low cost, international distribution, widespread advertising, and customer focus. Years later, he was able to add the following policies: growth and development through continuing research, human resources, and a profit reinvestment program. Mr. Eastman knew that he had to make the photo process easy for amateur photographers. The Kodak camera debuted in 1888. The slogan “you press the button, we do the rest” was born. Kodak made the process of taking and developing pictures easy and accessible to nearly everyone. Kodak has led the way with a abundance of new products and processes that makes photography simpler, more useful and enjoyable. Kodak is not just known to be the film for amateurs, many professionals use Kodak film for commercial, leisure, and entertainment purposes. The Kodak Company is continually researching the needs of the consumer to improve their products. The Kodak Company brand is a premier global corporation and is recognized in virtually...

...Isabel Ball English 1010 July 28, 2011 Dedicated photographers usually recognize what most photo shoots require such as the equipment and techniques. The most common photo shoots that a photographer conducts are portraits and celebration events. Discussing the differences between two photo sessions, along with the techniques, and equipment needed to conduct the photo shoot is very important information for new photographers. During the discussion new photographers will learn the process in conducting the shoots and obtaining good results. The sessions discussed will be a baby’s portrait and wedding celebration. Both of these sessions take time, patience, equipment, and different techniques. When conducting a baby’s portrait a photographer usually need a lot of equipment. These include baby blankets, baskets, props, backgrounds, and lighting tools. One of the most important tools for this session is patience. Patience is what gives the best results, because sometimes that baby will cry and they might need a brake and this takes time. The more patience the photographer has the better shots they will obtain. During this shoot the photographer might want to utilize incandescent lighting or daylight coming from a window if possible. Not only does this give the photographer soft neutral lighting, and reduce shadows, but it prevents the squinting in that baby’s eyes. A wedding celebration in the other hand needs less equipment, but it is more demanding and challenging. A...

...ANALYSIS OF STIEGLITZ’ WORK Analysis of Stieglitz’ Work Mary Chandler Grantham University Introduction Any piece of art work is considered a representation and reflection of inspiration and creative thoughts. Every piece of art has certain themes attached to it. Similarly, work of famous photographer Alfred Stieglitz has certain inspirational themes. The objective of this research is to explore work of Stieglitz known as Steerage and its themes. Thesis Statement The work of Stieglitz in Steerage reflects his childhood and young adulthood and show how these works of art influenced his future works of art. Stieglitz took this photograph when he was going to visit his friends and family in 1907. While on his way to Europe Stieglitz took what is recognized not only as his signature image but also as one of the most important photographs of the 20th Century. While aiming his camera at the lower class passengers in the bow of the ship, he captured a scene he titled “The Steerage”. Once he arrived in Paris he developed the image in a friend’s darkroom and carried the glass plate around with him in Europe for many months. By the time he returned to New York he was so caught up in other business and personal matters that he did not publish it until four years later. This photograph displays people standing on steerage who were rejected by immigration officials of United States and were sent back to Europe. This photograph...
