Eastman called his new famous camera the Kodak for no particular reason except that he liked the word. It was easy to remember and could be pronounced in any language.
　　An immediate consequence of Eastman’ s invention was a blizzard of amateur photographs that soon became known as snapshots. The word came from hunters’ jargon. When a hunter fired a gun from the hip, without taking careful aim, it was described as a snapshot.
