After The Kodak Moment: Video Presentation

FYI: Of the roughly 200 buildings that once stood on the 1,300-acre campus of Eastman Kodak’s business park in Rochester, 80 have been demolished and 59 others sold off. Terry Taber, bespectacled, 60, and a loyal Kodak employee of 34 years, still works in one of the remaining Kodak structures, rubble from demolition not far from its doors.

Mr. Taber oversees research and development at Kodak. Many people might be surprised to know that Kodak is still in business at all, much less employing someone in the hopeful-sounding enterprise of developing new technology ideas. But if the film company, which emerged from bankruptcy in 2013, has any light in its future, Mr. Taber is likely to have something to do with it

  • Thanks Ted for showing the NY Times video and article. Developing and continuously improving the film coating process at Kodak Park was my life for almost 40 years. So, sentimental it is. Kodak city is no more.

    I now work for the touch screen venture talked about in the article. If you look at the 1st and 3rd picture in the slide presentation, those are my co-workers. That's how I dress now every day for work. Uncomfortable, but hey, we're clean:)

    Thanks again Ted.
  • Great to see you back Mike. Still a few sharp knives around, but not too bad if you know when to duck.:)
  • @MikeM: Its because of you that I posted the link.
    Regards,
    Ted
  • @MikeM: Hi there Mike- nice to see you here again. Best of luck on the touch screen venture.
