In the past 53 since this 22 Kodak commercial was made, photography has moved so far to the often intrusive phones of today with camera and filming capabilities. But for the 95 years prior to this, a very interesting transition took place, and in a color silent style short, that history is both funny and informative, with Keaton going from the early days to the present as he sees how photography progresses in the future in his own time machine. This is by far the best of the three industrial shorts he made in the 1960's. I guarantee that it will produce many styles, and remind you how photography was once a real art form where getting the right shot was more important than instagramming your lunch special from McDonald's. Photo history, 1868-1963. Presidential election ballots, 2016? Not so much!
