I was somewhat sad to hear about Kodak’s Chapter 11. Could it be the end for Kodak? Once a mighty player in the photography world with inspiring products such as the Brownie and Instamatic, now a sinking ship in the digital industry. But lets not forget: the photography community owes a lot to Kodak: Paving the way for the cost effective camera for the mass market, amazing advancements with the color Kodachrome film (see image -taken from my personal collection: Holiday magazine June 1949), and the simple, yet beautiful functionalist industrial design of products, by designers such as Kenneth Grange, are just a handful of the company’s innovations and achievements.

I got some new shoelaces through the post today. They were a little on the long side, so I had to tie them round the heal. I like the results though.

This morning my copy of Rhodri Brook’s “Portraits of people balancing things on their head.” arrived through the post. Whilst I was on my lunch, I enjoyed reacquainting myself with these great photographs, noticing delightful little details I had not seen before. In the photograph above I really love the addition of the snail, such a nice touch. Hat tip to Rhodri Brooks.

It was a nice change to a Friday morning not having to wake up to this - Stokes croft, Bristol.
