The oddness of this information finding it's way into my inbox at the particular time it did I do not completely understand. I'm honestly freaked out by the coincidence. I was on my lunch break walk, considering how I would get some darkroom time to develop the black and white pictures I'm planning to take in Costa Rica next week (by the way, I leave in six days!!!!!) and I came back to find this article hanging out in my inbox.
Can you believe it? I'm in shock. I'm dismayed. I . . . I . . . how can they? This seems against everything a photographic company should and must do to uphold their oath. They must have taken one, I just know they must have. Discontinue the essence of photography? Sure, you can say that "technology" has improved it, or so some will argue. But I will always be found on the side with the "11 year-old-boy" who's watched the image develop. Have you ever watched that happen? If you have, or even if you haven't, I implore you; write Kodak and BEG them to stop this insanity!
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
