The Wizard of Photography Web Site Review


Brownie Starflash camera by Eastman Kodak that I captured
at a-now defunct camera store in Palm Springs, CA.


There's a new Web site about George Eastman called the Wizard of Photography.

It contains:

* a year-by-year timeline of the history of photography that's fascinating.
* a photo tour of George Eastman's house
* Kodak music from the turn-of-the-last-century
* biographies of inventors such as Thomas Edison and businessmen such as Henry Strong.
* major photographic events such as public reactions to the first Kodak cameras

Here's a mini-timeline I wrote--
