George EastmanWhat he did was take the art of photography away from being a specialized trade and made it something anyone could do.
The $1 box camera called the "Brownie" made his company a worldwide name. The film inside was cellulose acetate with silver halide grains imbedded in a gelatin layer that reacted to light quickly and predictably. The camera contained a roll that could hold 100 pictures, when you were done taking your pictures you would mail your camera in, the pictures would be developed, the camera was reloaded and then sent back to you. The process was affordable and easy.
