...The Future of Photography Over the last 150 or so years that photography has been in our lives, it didn’t undergo much change until twenty years ago. While film sizes and developing techniques had minor changes, it wasn’t until the 80′s when the first glimmer of the future of photography started to appear with auto-focus camera’s and faster frames per seconds. Then digital came and has forever changed our lives. I do see many changes in the future, some may come to be, and some may be just too far-fetched, however, anything is possible. I see in camera HDR, unlimited ISO, simulated grain, 3g equipped cameras, GPS equipped cameras, and Polaroid film comes back to life, universal batteries, even, the everything lens. High dynamic range photography has been more of a curse then a blessing as most photographers see it. Most over-use the ability and create more art images compared with a true photography, layering and layering until what they have more closely resembles a digitally created image, not a photograph. If a camera can have the ability to do HDR on the fly, in camera it could open up the door for better, more equally exposed images. High end DSLRs now seem to be able to shoot in near total darkness, however the blacks still tend to go green in hue. Working towards better chips that don’t get as hot will lead to better night images without flash. Grain is not a bad thing! 25 years ago photographers chose film based on the grain type, fine, coarse, etc., and the...

I knew that I did not want to be a clown, comedian and I did not want to be a cashier for the rest of my life. So I really had to take a minute to think about different things I would be into to doing for the rest of my life. Deciding what to do for the rest of my life is the biggest decision I ever had to make. My thoughts were to try out photography, accounting and computers. All of this sounded interesting even though I did not know much about any of them. The first major I thought about taking up was photography. I wanted to learn how to take good pictures. Taking pictures is a lot of fun and it is a way of making memories last for a long time. It is good to have pictures to look at to help remember the good times.

...was the basis for Kodak’s success in analog or film photography, and why was it able to maintain its leadership position for so long? In 1884, Kodak roll of film was launched. This was the future innovative product in film business in that era. The first Kodak camera was introduced in 1888. The company distinguished itself and advertised products with the slogan “You press the button, we do the rest.” Kodak focused on customer needs by developing convenient-to-use products. For mass production strategy, the company sold its products by using a razor-blade strategy: low-price camera, but high-profit of film repurchase and having the strong relationship with retailers for selling products and printing photos with Kodak paper. This meant that the company offered customers with complete range of service from photo capturing to photo finishing, resulting in customers’ preference for Kodak rather than higher-quality products from competitors. In order to increase the growth, Kodak also continuously did the research. The company invested in R&D for color film and new cameras to medical imaging and graphic arts. As the result, this technological strength prevented the entry of competitors in the market. Kodak had the largest market share in film market and camera sales by 1976 before the digital era. 2. What are the key ways in which the structure of digital imaging is different from analog or film photography? In photography industry, I would like to divide into 3 processes: image...

...Selfie 2.0 The selfie is a self-portrait photo that is a quite widespread in social networks today. The history of this type of photography is much longer than one may expect. The first photo that can be called a selfie was taken by an American pioneer in photography Robert Cornelius in 1839. [photo of Cornelius] With the popularization of photo cameras in 1900s more and more people started taking pictures of themselves in the mirror. Of course, these were usually wealthy people. [2 more old selfie photos] With the emerging social networks, particularly MySpace, people started to post their selfies as profile pictures. Those were with the use of flash, in a bad quality and usually taken through the bathroom mirror. Later, with the Facebook gaining more popularity, those became unpopular, were called “MySpace pics”, were considered unprofessional, and were just a sign of a bad taste.[link NYer: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/06/the-return-of-the-selfie.html] That could be the death of the selfie.

OFURE AITO THE STILL PHOTOGRAPHY AS LITERATURE IN THE 21ST CENTURY USING TY BELLO’S WORKS Introduction “Art is about collecting experiences and expressing them. For me music and photography are similar art forms. I collect experiences, stir them in myself and express it in my own language. Just like my photography, music is my language.” Ty Bello Today people live in a visually intensive society and a world of spectacular and exciting images. They are bombarded with an orderly and continuously stream of visual stimulation from all manner of media every day. They see mediated images more often than they read words. Images sell everything. This paper offers an analytical framework for understanding how still photography is Literature in the 21st Century, using TY Bello’s still pictures. According to Aristotle, “There can be no words without images”. The world is surrounded with mediated images in such a way that has never been witnessed in the history of mass communication. Every era has expressed itself in its own way since the beginning. Antiquity was the time of legends, epics and mythical narratives. During the sovereignty of this era, meaning was constructed...

...We would like to speak with you regarding photography and the importance of hiring a professional wedding photographer, as opposed to allowing a family friend with a decent camera to capture your special day, leaving it to your guests or hiring a photographer who does not specialize in weddings. We have briefly touched on this topic in a previous article, however, we strongly believe photography is a part of the wedding that is crucially important to perform accurately! There are numerous horror stories about people being let down by the results that a non-professional photographer has produced. Couples choosing to let ‘a friend’ do it, or ‘I know someone with a good camera’, or ‘we’re just going to let our guests take the photos’. This is perfectly fine to do and you may feel that you will be saving money by doing this, but in the long run, we can guarantee it will not turn out how you expected. Your wedding photos are the only lasting memory you will have of the day, and if they do not turn out as you dreamt, then your memories will be ruined. Grand Lens Photography shares...

...world. Few people know the actual history of both companies and the competition they have been in over the years. It’s an interesting history on how both companies started and how they have developed and challenged each other over the years. George Eastman, who was the founder of Kodak, started his business career as a 14-year old boy when he had to quit school and work to support his mother and two sisters. Mr. Eastman had a gift for organization and management while his lively and inventive mind made him a successful entrepreneur by his mid-twenties. What sparked the idea of a simple camera was that his coworker suggested he make a record of his vacation to Santo Domingo. As a result, he became absorbed with photography and wanting to simplify the photography process. Eastman started Kodak in 1880 and built it on four basic principles: mass production at low cost, international distribution, extensive advertising, and a focus on the customer. Later on he added the following policies: foster growth and development through continuing research, treat employees in a fair, self-respecting way, and reinvest profits to build and extend the business. Mr. Eastman started the company by manufacturing dry plates for sale to photographers. One mishap almost shut down the company when dry plates that were sold went bad. Eastman came up with a quick solution to recall the bad plates and replace them with a good product. His quick thinking saved the company and the company’s reputation...
