Kodak Instant Camera Commercial

The history of Kodak all started when in the 1870s, 24-year old George Eastman was planning a vacation from his job in Rochester, New York as a bank clerk. A co-worker suggested that he make photos of his vacation and he found out that to do some photography, one has to carry a bulky load of camera, wet-plate developing chemicals, and other stuff.
