After 74-years, the Eastman Kodak Company announced the retirement of its KODACHROME Color Film. For those of us who age of age with the film, Kodachrome was synonymous with quality. It was a film that demanded get attention, precision, and absolute control over exposure. Kodachrome was a film, like none others -- it made the greatest photographers working in 35mm, great in their day. As Paul Simon sang:
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
It is understandable that we have moved into a new era of photography with digital technology, but there is truly something about the undeniable and consistent quality of Kodachrome.
