In the late 80’s I began what turned into a 20 year career as a photojournalist. The newspaper had three darkrooms. One for film processing, one for colour printing and the other for black and white printing. We shot Kodak films and printed on Kodak papers. 

We captured images using the New Canon F1’s or Canon T-90’s, and later the EOS 1N. I remember loading Ektapress 100, 400 or 1600 ISO films to capture the events around the City. The photography world was dominated by The Eastman Kodak Company. So today, I was sad a little when I read the stories about the plans for Kodak to file for bankruptcy by the end of January.

Kodak has had a tough go since digital photography became popular in the early 2000s. and it’s digital printing effort have not been a success.
