THE #1 AV NEWS PUBLICATION. PERIOD.

The World Turned Upside Down…

This morning, while reading my morning “paper” I came across this article that made me do a double-take. For the last couple of weeks, we’ve all been predicting the ups and downs of our business, but this one was enough to make me suddenly exhale half a cup of coffee through my nose.

Report: Kodak may file for bankruptcy protection

Yes, Kodak.

KODAK!!
The Great Yellow Father who was the strongest building force of our industry for decades.

Now, before any of you start in with the uninformed rant about electronics replacing film and this being a natural evolution, I’d like to point out that Kodak “Fathered” more than film. This was the company that propelled, among other things, both digital photography and the LCD.

But didn’t, in the long run, seem to know what to do with them.
