I took a railroad job in Colorado that serviced the old Kodak factory. It was surreal to go around all those old buildings thinking about how fast it all just crumbled. This wasn't an industrial setting. It was more like an office park with several very nice buildings. Definitely looked like a really great place to work back in the day. They even developed their own digital camera and storage cards. But they chose to shelve that project because they wanted their programmable 35mm cartridges (I can't remember the name) to be the next big thing. It was a neat idea that would have been great about a decade earlier. But even then, I doubt it would have ever lasted because of price.

A couple years ago I found an old roll of film in a storage box that had traveled with us for almost twenty years waiting to be developed. It was funny to watch the staff at Walgreens fumble at figuring out how to take care of it, while at the old photo development desk. I was more familiar with how the process should go than the employees there.
