Time marches on...old standards fall to new emerging ones. Kodachrome follows Polaroid, exit stage left. Kodak confirms that the last run will be the last. Farewell, old friend.

[SET Man]

Hey!

   Oh! Shit! 

   I knew that this would eventually happen.

   Kodachrome have a very unique looks to it and definitely a place in photography's history... a big one at that, even Paul Simon wrote a song about it.

    Somehow I knew that in transparency film world Kodachrome's days are numbered since unlike E-6 it was hard to find a lab that you could just drop it off and pick it up in about 2-3 hours.

      I do have a few slides of the Kodachrome and they are still look brilliant as the I got it back by mail from Kodak many years ago

    But one thing I know that many years or should I say a couple of decades from now my grandchildren will be able to open my box full of Kodachrome slides and I bet they will still look good. Not sure about my digital photo files though!

     Well, fare well my old friend. I will have to keep my fingers crossed that my beloved Tri-X will stick around longer than I am 

Take care,
Buddy
