Thanks Roy!

There was some joy in taking snapshots and them waiting for them to be processed. Now with digital pictures, one can easily share with others without spending money to duplicate the pictures.

So, the "Kodak moment" is that there is NOT a picture being taken, right? That's why "fully developed"? Anyway, that's the way I read it (always reading into it something more). In my mind, why would you write a poem about a photo? I'm sure you'll put me to rest. Nice, unexpected nugget of poetry.

Anne,

Sorry, but my meaning was the sunrise is one of those Kodak moments. The "fully developed" harkens back when we had our pictures printed from the roll sent out for processing.

I was wondering if George Eastman was related to Linda Eastman, who was a photographer and married Paul McCartney, but I don't think so. Your metaphor and puns here are excellent and I wish you all the best in the competition.
