A “Kodak moment” on 35mm film was always cause for joy. Receiving the brightly colored envelope from the Fotomat, adorned with a happy kid playing with a balloon on a beach, felt like opening a present. Inside were 24 shiny prints, together with their negatives. The prints were pasted into photo books or passed around to admire, but the negatives remain forever DEFUNCT.
