Kodak, the memory keeper. Birthdays, weddings, Easter, you name it Kodak preserved our memories. I don’t miss waiting a week to see if I correctly captured the image! This ad was from 1950. Those images taken from the Brownie Camera was due to the large film format. It was the same film size most professional photographers used until digital photography took over.
In 1976 Kodak introduced their instant camera that turned out to violate a number of Polaroid patents. A lawsuit was filed in 1981 and settled in 1986, the same year Kodak invented the megapixel sensor which helped make digital photography and their demise possible.
I’m sure people today would freak out with the “clown” style make up in this commercial.
