A Good Run


It is a wistful day for lovers of fine photographs. Probably the greatest color film ever made, Kodachrome, is now officially dead. Kodak has announced that the latest batch of Kodachrome, a film they have been making for 74 years, will be the last they will ever make. This final lonely run will be sold out by early fall, maybe sooner.

My childhood is captured on Kodachrome, so I have a personal connection to this great icon of culture.

Goodbye, my colorful friend.
