A Kodak Moment by myautofocuslife

A Kodak Moment

From the Wiki: The snapshot concept was introduced to the public on a large scale by Eastman Kodak, which introduced the Brownie box camera in 1900. Kodak encouraged families to use the Brownie to capture moments in time and to shoot photos without being concerned with producing perfect images. Kodak advertising urged consumers to "celebrate the moments of your life" and find a "Kodak moment."
Good composition Livia, like the info too, that's a cool little thing for a photogapher to have, especially one like you who mostly shoots cool little things :)

As a child, my dad had a Brownie. Wish I still had it as a memento. What a cool shot, Olivia. So creatively done!

Lovely!

Awesome! I like your story with this. We seem to have had similar ideas for today - and similar jewellery ;)
July 11th, 2012  
I like your new direction with charms. This is very well done.
July 11th, 2012  
ohhh Livia this is so elegant and beautiful :))
Love the angle and DoF !!
July 11th, 2012  
Great shot, love the focus!
July 11th, 2012  
Beautiful composition and bits of history, Livia! It's kind of sad that's all gone now. Digital is not quite as tangible to me. If all the digital equipment failed for some reason like a well placed EMP, what would people do?
July 11th, 2012  
Very cute photo!
July 11th, 2012  
Learned from @peterdegraff that Eastman's birthday is tomorrow! Fantastic & perfect tribute!!!

Fab pic. There have always been words and sayings based around brands forming part of our every day speech, such as Google It or I need a Kleenex, etc. Not sure there'll be another Kodak Moment in this digital age but I hope it's a term we all hold on to for sentiment's sake.
July 11th, 2012  
Great capture! Oh yes, those were the days!
July 11th, 2012  
Very cool
July 11th, 2012

Great shot of the charm and so much great information. Not bad for a "simple housewife" 8-)
July 12th, 2012  
What an adorable charm! I just love this shot Livia!
July 12th, 2012

July 12th, 2012  
This is wonderful! I don't miss those days of dropping off a roll of film from an instamatic, only to find out they were terrible when they were developed!
July 12th, 2012  
...and that's what we will continue doing, finding many "Kodak moments" Very nice tribute.
July 12th, 2012  
This is really nicely done! focus, dof, colours; lovely and fitting tribute!

A great, big, bright and warm and nostalgic "THANK YOU!" to all for taking the time to stop by. Before digital cameras existed, I always used Kodak film. I loved the warm tones in the photos that Kodak film gives.

Again, thank you, for your encouragement and support! Some days, it gets hard. But I will struggle on, I can't wait to finish my project.

July 13th, 2012  
Very cool still-life! And very interesting info. :)
