Dear Fellow Investors: About Eastman Kodak Company In 2006, a new Kodak began to emerge. Kodak is the world’s foremost imaging innovator.

The second metric, digital revenue*, grew by $316 million, but was Just as acquisitions were key to our growth in 2005, our less than we would have liked. However, this shortfall was partly due performance in 2006 depended on our ability to successfully to deliberate action on our part as we chose and publicly announced integrate those acquisitions into Kodak. GCG has come together on January 30, 2006, to forego revenue and market share in certain well; our integration is ahead of plan, our investment in digital areas of the low-end digital capture category in the interest of technologies has begun to pay off , and we are on track to achieve our focusing on improving overall digital profi t margins. target business model.

Consequently, we believe our prospects for growth, both in revenue and earnings, are strong. Consumer Digital Imaging Group This past year was full of critical milestones for our Consumer Digital Imaging Group (CDG). We are pleased about our progress and feel confi dent that we will build on this momentum in 2007. As Kodak transforms we look to the consumer business to bring profi table digital revenue growth and further carry the Kodak brand and consumer value proposition. We continue to be a top market leader in the business segments where CDG competes, including digital cameras, snapshot printers, retail photo, kiosks, and online services. For the third year running, we received the J.D. Power and Associates award for Highest Customer Satisfaction with Digital Cameras—$200–$399. Kodak’s EasyShare photo printers also earned high honors from J.D. Power and Associates for the highest level of overall satisfaction, signifi cantly outpacing the other top six competitors. And, we earned numerous innovation and “best in show” awards. We have made substantial progress in installing our digital business model and largely have the necessary infrastructure to compete in the digital world. We saw some important proof points from this eff ort: improved inventory levels and cash fl ow; a rationalized regional go-to- market model; a streamlined design, manufacturing and supply chain model; and a new marketing architecture with product marketing and integrated team focus. We implemented this business model with new partnerships and new ways of working and we should see further benefi ts from leveraging this integration during the next year and beyond. All of this was achieved while we kept investing in key technologies and product development for the future. As we head into 2007, we are well positioned to launch new products and technologies in new markets, helping us to achieve profi table growth. We will also continue to exploit our current businesses— building on the scale that we gained during the past years. One of those new products is a revolutionary approach to inkjet printing. The innovative Kodak EasyShare all-in-one inkjet printers, featuring premium pigment-based inks at half the price of competing inks, off er customers quality, ease-of-use and value that’s unprecedented in the industry.

  • Gazing-Imaging: Visual Rhetorical Criticism and Creation
    GAZING-IMAGING: VISUAL RHETORICAL CRITICISM AND CREATION, DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY, AND REPRODUCING WOMEN, A PREGNANT (TRANS)MAN, AND FAMILY by JAMIE LANDAU (Under the Direction of Celeste M. Condit) ABSTRACT This dissertation proposes a supplementary materialist theory of visual rhetoric and methodological perspective of visual rhetorical criticism and creation that I term “gazing-imaging.” I apply this theory and methodological perspective to case studies of the symbolic ideological, physical, and affective interaction between 20 women of various childbearing ages today and digital photography in general, and with four digital photographs in particular. Specifically, I rhetorically critique how the women interacted (and at times hesitated to interact) with digital photography in general in four main ways: they “captured” happy family moments and/or memories, 2) they “connected” family, 3) they “circulated” happy family digital photographs, and 4) they “changed” family digital photographs. I argue that the material reproduction of “happy family” is one major rhetorical force of gazing-imaging done by today’s women of childbearing age and digital photography. A second rhetorical force of gazing-imaging was the material reproduction and stealth subversion of “pregnant sirens” that occurred when the women interacted (and hesitated to interact) with a particular digital photograph by “cropping” and “censoring” (the skin of) (hetero)sexually- seductive and naked pregnant female models. A third rhetorical force of gazing- imaging was the comedic material reproduction and subversion of traditional male masculinity, along with the material reproduction of a “pregnant (trans)man” and “happy family” that occurred when the women interacted with two additional photographs. I close this dissertation with a rhetorical creation that recommends the reproduction of another “happy family” by “collage”-ing family digital photographs.

Now, people only mildly familiar with technological products and Internet services can take hundreds of photos, upload them to photo-sharing and networking websites, and send picture files to friends and family. With a heritage built in the consumer photography world, the Eastman Kodak Company aims to remain on the leading edge of development in the digital photography space and provide consumers an online offering that anticipates and satisfies their specific needs. In order to determine the best strategy for ensuring Kodak’s continued leadership in the market for online photo services, extensive primary and secondary research was performed and analyzed. It was found that Kodak Gallery’s current demographically-defined target market has left it unable to effectively communicate with any one particular segment.
