Whither Kodak and Their Gallery

Just seen in The Times today, Kodak are apparently looking for a buyer for their online album and printing service, Kodak Gallery. I also found a post on Foxbusiness.com saying Kodak are looking for "hundreds of millions of dollars" which seems like a pretty steep price tag for a division that made a loss in recent quarters. If you've read my posts before you'll know I love Kodak, if there were a competition for their biggest fan I'd at least make the quarter finals. So the sale of a key element in their digital photography arsenal causes me a great deal of sadness. But that's nothing compared to the sickening feeling when I read this sentence - Kodak is seeking money for its pricey overhaul, from which it will focus on selling printers. What? Printers? Are you completely mad? Going head to head with HP, Lexmark, Epson and many others. You owned "photos" and not only are you going to re-invent yourself but you're going to take on and beat dominant players in their heartland. And printers! Printers? Who wants to be in this dull sector of the IT market anyway? Give me strength. You are imaging, snapshot photography, photo scanning and great cameras. As Homer (Simpson) might say - put down that printer, no goods going to come of this.

Wedding Photography?

If I were looking for a wedding photographer in St Albans I'd contact Kevin Cull. He's a good photographer and a nice guy.
