Today, photography extends into and contributes to every phase of society. In various exhibits at the Kodak Pavilion, you will see many of these contributions ... some familiar, some quite new ...

1. See how aerial photos can capture everything from horizon to horizon -- as in this end-to-end view of Manhattan Island.

 2. See how Tiros VII, the weather satellite, relays pictures to earth, to help tell tomorrow's weather. This picture shows the east coast of the U.S.

3. See how color pictures are taken apart -- and then put back together to print the magazines you read.

4. Scan the day's news -- in pictures -- as it comes hot off the wires.

And many other things!
