 This article was very interesting because I did not realize that color photography date back as far as the 1840s. In the earlier stages of color photography it was very time consuming work, in addition to being expensive. This allowed color photography to be reserved for the elite who had the means to use and manipulate it to make it better. Bennett explains how this changed when George Eastman introduced flexible film in the 1880s. The social dynamic changed, "thereby bringing photography within reach of the general public, and changing it from an elitist pastime for the rich to a popular hobby.” (pg 132). The use of simpler cameras allowed for color photography to reach a broader audience. -Nicole Spreeman This article was very interesting because I did not realize that color photography date back as far as the 1840s.

-I found this article very intriguing because of the dynamic history of colored film. I was surprised that in the 1840's when colored film was first invented that it wasn't initially popular. Despite being expensive and time consuming I believe that that kind of technology wouldn't come close to being widely popular until the mid 30's almost 100 years after the invention's creation. I think that it is an achievement that is often taken for granted in today's world. I certainly did not think much about how cameras and television adapted color until I read this article.-Kendell Jenkins   +I found this article very intriguing because of the dynamic history of colored film. I was surprised that in the 1840's when colored film was first invented that it wasn't initially popular. Despite being expensive and time consuming I can't believe that the kind of technological advancement wouldn't come close to being widely popular until the mid 30's almost 100 years after the invention's creation. I think that it is an achievement that is often taken for granted in today's world. I certainly did not think much about how cameras and television adapted color until I read this article and I use my cellphone camera everyday. So to know the evolution from three colored filters to and HD camera in my back pocket is truly mind blowing.-Kendell Jenkins   
  
 “Kodachrome film was in short supply for many years, and was eagerly sought by amateur British Enthusiasts.” This article brings forth the idea that the early on dominance battle between England and America came from not only agriculture, weapons, and other necessary pieces of technology, but the entertainment segment as well. In America, Kodak made quicker advancements than England did in this field of colored pictures. I find it interesting to see that even as late as 1942, they were still trying to catch up to each other in the technology realm.--Kelsey Dean “Kodachrome film was in short supply for many years, and was eagerly sought by amateur British Enthusiasts.” This article brings forth the idea that the early on dominance battle between England and America came from not only agriculture, weapons, and other necessary pieces of technology, but the entertainment segment as well.
