I just learned that Kodak has pulled the plug on the best slide film ever...my old friend Kodachrome. This act really shows the transition of the whole photography industry's conversion from film to digital of which I am guilty of being a part of for the past six years. It's like the death nail to film. An end of an era.
Thanks for all the great images you've given me. Those vibrant reds...deep azure gradient sky...those greens of summer (where have you heard that)...the warm flesh tones. All the colors just popping out...wow. And the images were so sharp. There's nothing else like it.
Kodachrome was my main film during my two year trek in Asia thirty years ago. I memorize the lab's address in Palo Alto, CA to this day...925 Pagemill Road. OK..I might have forgotten the zip code, let me guess...94034.
Just checked...it's 94304...not bad.
A handful of mailers I sent from Katmandu never made it back here. To this day I am so sad as to what happen to all those images from Thailand, Burma and Nepal.
I have a ton of slides that I would like to digitize. I don't own a good film scanner yet. I understand most graphic scanners come with a transparency adapter to scan film. Any suggestions out there?
Farewell Kodachrome. We had some great times. Thanks for all the beautiful images.
