Photo tips for ghouls
Today is Halloween and a lot of spooky creatures will have their photo taken today.
Even monsters, ghosts and ghouls want to look nice in pictures, so Kodak is here to help.
Before/After
Whether it's because you are evil or because you were using flash, red-eye can really be distracting in a photo. Luckily, Kodak Easyshare Software has a great red-eye removal tool.
Before/After
Kodak All-in-One printers come with Kodak's Inkjet Software, which includes one-click Facial Retouch that reduces wrinkles and blemishes. Great news for all those zombies out there that perhaps have a few open wounds and decaying crevices that may detract from their charming smile.
Vampires prefer not to have their picture taken in bright sunlight. Since they are typically photographed in low light situations, they can depend on Kodak digital cameras like the Z1015 with High ISO and digital image stabilization to get a nice sharp picture.
Witches like hanging out together in cafes, book clubs, covens... and when they take pictures of themselves having a cackling good time, they often wonder what else they can do with their pictures. Kodak Gallery is the go to place for witches to make tote bags, mouse pads or even a nice mug to hold their poisonous brew.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Bridge removal day by day photos
The Kodak Tower at our headquarters in Rochester was built in 1916. Over the years other buildings were built around it. Hallways and bridges were added to connect all the buildings together.
To the left of the Kodak tower was a little bridge that hasn't been used, at least since I have been here, for the past 10 years. A lot of people probably didn't even realize it was there. It wasn't in good shape so it needed to come down.
When I realized what was happening I decided to take a picture every day from a window inside as the bridge came down. Above is an animated gif of the pictures I took. It will loop 4 times, so if you miss it, refresh the page and it will start again.
Some things I learned shooting progressive pictures like this.
1. mark your spot so you get the same shot every day - (I placed transparent tape on the window so I held the camera in the same spot)
2. take the picture at the same time each day - ( I didn't do this and the shadows are distracting)
3. take frequent pictures, don't let long periods of time break the sequence - ( I missed one day at the end and POOF the bridge was gone)
I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed because my coworker Kevin hustled outside and asked one of the workers for a brick from the bridge as a souvenir. That's one big paper weight.
