Pictures better than real life!


Recently, just across the lake in Rochester, NY Kodak laid-off 10,000 employees as part of their overall strategy to lay-off up to 25,000 in the near future. The obvious reason being the huge impact that digital photography has had on the company.

As I’m sure you know Kodak has been around for a long time and built their business in traditional photography business. Although somewhat slow to make the change to digital, they have certainly demonstrated a commitment to be a leader in the space, although the losses are still pretty dramatic.

Anyway, the reason for my post is on the Kodak easy share gallery site the opening statement is pretty amusing:
Tell you Story. Share your photos.
Get pictures that look even better than real life.
100% quality guaranteed.

I laughed when I read this. Pictures better than real life? What a joke. Seeing as Kodak is cutting and slashing, I'd suggest adding the moron behind this to the pile.
All for now...
