    In 1850, he was working as a shoemaker in New York.

    In Rochester, New York, USA in 1877, a young bank clerk called George Eastman planned to take a summer vacation in Santo Domingo, and a colleague suggested he should make a photographic record. Eastman bought all the necessary equipment for the wet plate process and took lessons from a professional photographer, G. H. Munroe, the son of a long-established Rochester photographer Myron H. Monroe. Eastman never made the trip, but it was the start of his long and eventually profitable involvement with the medium. He found the collodion process complex and started experiments to try to simplify it.
