It was purely coincidental that today's photo of the day, was shot on KodachromeII. I was not aware that today, Eastman Kodak finally stopped producing this venerable film. It did go through many variations but the basic structure of it being actually three layers of B&W film whose colors were "added" during processing, made it the most stable color film ever. It's colors were legendary. Even Paul Simon wrote a song about it. What Simon actually meant in the song is immaterial to the fact that the same lyrics would not have been apropiate to Ektachrome, Agfachrome or even Fujichrome.
I will not only decry it's passing as a film but as an era that will never return.
For good or evil, digital marches on.
So farewell Kodachrome, nothing could ever replace you and nothing ever will no matter how many mega pixels get packed in sensors..
