"Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away." by Paul Simon
Remember when ……..
……. you shot with film and had to:
- Decide to shoot in color or black & white?
- Decide whether to shoot color in transparency or negative film.
- Choose whether to put in a roll of 24 or 36 exposures?
- Decide whether to remove a partially exposed roll when in a big rush to develop shots you already took.
- Use a competent lab to process your film and do it quickly?
Kodak stopped making Kodachrome in 2009. Back then Kodak ruled the film and photographic paper industry. They certainly missed the boat by not embracing and innovating digital progress.
Back then you would have just laughed if someone had told you that in the future you would be able to capture more than a thousand images on a little re-usable card the size of a quarter, and review your images immediately after taking them.
Digital scans from Kodachrome slides did not always produce great results, even when drum-scanned.
They do however bring back memories of when and where you shot them.
