Kodachrome 64 - RIP
And so there is this news today, the day after Father's Day:
http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=15359&pq-locale=en_US
This might be something to lament over or regard as a passing whim or frivolous news byte, but it is more like watching a great ship crack up and sink after striking the rocky shore. A greater part of the 20th Century was explored and defined according to the ways and parameters of this film. The distinct color of KR allowed an insight that dreamily and didactically presented the world at large and rendered it alive and rich in color that demanded attention and repose.
The working technique that I mentioned before is one characteristic and still almost applicable reference as the whole of the digital photography world hardly notices this passing giant of imaging technology quietly laying out a very successful child. Another note is that any old Life Magazine or Nat. Geographic has within many examples of a lost technology and the working insight of a artistic tool that helped to define photojournalism in the later 20th century.
