Kodak's A Thousand Words Top 10 Posts for 2008

This blog has been active since September of 2006. We have published every business day since then. In the rush of daily business and "on to the next post" it is a healthy exercise to look back at the great stories and photos that are shared here. Below is a list of some of our top posts from 2008. They illustrate the creativity of their authors, their thoughtfulness, skill, or silliness. At the heart of each of these is the power of photography to tell a story. 
So, drumroll please. here they are...
