Kodak not only brought photography to the masses through its innovative celluloid film cameras, they also invented digital photography.

I certainly exposed a lot of their film; sometimes, I bought it "processing included," sending the exposed roll back to Kodak to be developed using a mailer included with the roll.  It was a variation of their first camera, which came pre-loaded with film; you sent in the entire camera, and they sent it back with your photos and reloaded camera.

It truly is the end of an era.

Fly Like an Eagle Parrot

 Hard to miss a flock of wild parrots flying overhead. They seem to be powered by squawking.
