Are Kodak moments gone? The Ongoing Story of Photography

Photography, for many of us, began with film. It was how we learned to see—carefully and with intention—one frame at a time, or maybe 36 frames for those who have shot a roll of film. We loaded rolls of Kodak 100 or 400 ASA, mindful of every shot. We developed our negatives, watched images come to life in darkrooms, and experienced the magic of seeing a photo slowly emerge on paper. It was magic and intimate.

Film was our foundation. It taught us patience, intention, and to see light.

Now, photography has evolved. We are in the digital era, where cameras are more powerful and accessible than ever. We can shoot endlessly, experiment freely, and share instantly. Digital photography has opened the doors for more people to create, learn, and tell stories in new ways.

While the medium has changed, the essence remains the same: capturing a moment, expressing a feeling, telling a story, photographing the beauty of light.

Film may have started it all, but digital photography continues the journey—and that is why we offer digital photography classes in New York City in person and online, for those who are not in town.

The tools are different, but the heart of photography endures. We are here to teach you how to control your digital camera and photograph what you see!
