Kodachrome - The End of an Era

And here is a shining example of why technical advancement does not necessarily mean an improvement. Kodachrome was the best thing that ever happened to color photography, and I am far from the only one who'll miss it.

Photograpy is dead. Long live "imaging".

Film, photo papers, enlargers, chemistry, film cameras are all becoming niche products. I think Nikon only makes 3 models of film camera now. Soon only a handful of artists/craftsmen will use any of it.

I still have some great images on Kodachrome. It always had the best skin tones.
