Not only would this revolutionize still photography for the average person, but unleash the possibilities of modern cinema. Around the same time, chemists with George Eastman's Kodak corporation came up with something similar, launching an over two decade long David versus Goliath court battle, as Rev. Goodwin spent the rest of his life fighting to prove he had been first. Historian and author Gordon Bond is presently writing a book about the man and the drama behind the drive to invent film, and will present a synopsis of his research to date.
