nov 9, 1885 - Film

Description:

Film
George Eastman came up with the idea of photography with film. He first used paper film before changing to celluloid. He called his first camera the Kodak and it featured fixed-focus and single shutter speed. Each camera could take 100 pictures before new film was needed. He produced box and folding style cameras. He later invented the Brownie which gave the concept of the snapshot. This brought the idea for many different styles to come.
