A brand name that has come to define a photogenic moment, Kodak made the once expensive and complicated hobby of photography accessible and affordable to the common man.
From the late 1800s to the 1980s, Kodak dominated the consumer photography market -- an innovative and admirable icon of American industry. It has won Emmys and Academy Awards, sent cameras into space and is credited with creating the digital camera.
With the sad news that the company is now struggling to stay afloat, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at the consumer history of Kodak, a firm that once represented the American dream, but who's future looks like a nightmare.
