The end of a photographic era: Your Kodak moments

A 'Kodak moment' - shared by keypix4 on Tumblr Photograph: keypix4/Tumblr

After more than 100 years in business, the photographic company which defined how we take and process pictures in the 20th century has filed for bankruptcy.

Kodak means memories to most people – and it's unsurprising the name of the digital photography and film company has become synonymous with the snap, click of capturing that special moment – the 'Kodak moment'.

Collaborating with Guardian readers, we created a collection of your 'Kodak moments' – pictures which help you to remember those all important events - birthdays, anniversaries, sunsets, smiles and times together.

You can see our favourite special moments captured on Kodak cameras and film in this gallery here. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

You can also see and submit any more photos on our Tumblr post here, or users on Flickr have been sharing images in this discussion thread. Thanks

If you're interested in exploring more about how the way we take and share photos is changing in the digital age, you can join our 'Photos of 2012: 52 weeks' project.

Feel free to also tell us about your Kodak moments and the memories you created in comments below, and continue the debate about what this means for the future of photography.
