Faces of a Shrinking Company Town
A new photography book explores Rochester in the 12 months following Kodak's bankruptcy filing.
In 2009, Kodak stopped manufacturing its beloved Kodachrome film. Three years later, it declared bankruptcy.
The company's history is as intertwined with the world of photography as much as its home city of Rochester, New York. Three months after Kodak went bankrupt in January 2012, photographers Alex Webb and his wife, Rebecca Norris Webb, spent a full year documenting the city defined by its faded corporate giant.
