In the 1870s, George Eastman, an inventor and entrepreneur, struggled with heavy and cumbersome photography equipment while traveling. This experience highlighted the challenges faced by photographers, particularly the need to transport delicate chemicals. Recognizing the complexity of early photography, Eastman sought to simplify the process. His journey began with improvements to photographic plates and culminated in the development of flexible film and user-friendly cameras. In 1888, he introduced the Kodak camera, which allowed users to focus on taking pictures while leaving the chemical processing to experts. This innovation made photography accessible to a broader audience, transforming it from a specialized skill into an intuitive experience. Eastman's strategic approach not only solved existing problems but also laid the foundation for Kodak, a brand synonymous with consumer photography. His story exemplifies how addressing frustrations can lead to groundbreaking inventions that change industries.
