I’m George Eastman’s No. 1 Fan

I am a huge fan of George Eastman, a famous Rochester philanthropist and founder of Eastman Kodak, who generously supported the Rochester community. I love that the WordPress community is so open and welcoming to all, with people willing to give their time and expertise to anyone who needs it. If it wasn’t for George and his Eastman Kodak company, founded in Rochester, where might we be today with photography?

I am George Eastman’s number one fan. I’ve even been accused of dressing like him. And it is true I do try to dress like him! He was so stylish! The only problem I have with the way Eastman dressed is trying to find pants – they often don’t have a hole for my tail!

My favorite camera is the folding Brownie camera first introduced in 1900 by Eastman Kodak – I carry it with me wherever I go. So if you see me on the side of the road thumbing a ride – as I’m not old enough yet for a driver’s license – I hope you’ll offer me a lift. Then we can take a picture of us and I’ll post it on the selfie wall of my WordPress site!

I just love exploring Rochester. Some people even think I know a whole lot about my home town and I have to admit, I love to tell a good story – complete with photos of course. But, more about my Rochester explorations next time. In the meantime you might want to consider visiting The George Eastman House https://www.eastman.org/ .
