Rochester, New York, was once home to George Eastman, the pioneer of film photography. In 1884, he founded the Eastman Kodak Company and revolutionised the way people capture memories. Interestingly, Eastman's love for photography began when he accidentally cut his finger while trying to develop a roll of film without gloves! His innovative spirit led him to invent the first film camera in 1888. Today, Rochester is still proud of its connection to the world of photography, hosting the annual George Eastman Museum Film Festival. So, next time you snap a photo, remember the accidental finger-cut that changed history!
