Kodachroowhoaoowhoaoome, cont'd.

I finally got my roll of Kodachrome back from the last place in the world that processes it. Not coincidentally, it was also one of the last rolls in the world, two of which I bought before anyone else could their hoardin' paws on em.

I shot one roll at the beach.



And I hate to say it, but I'm not all that impressed. Sure, the chromes themselves look good, but by the time I had them developed and shipped back to me, the cost was more than $1.00 per frame. So they'd better look good. But even then, what are you going to do with chromes? Project them? Make crummy duplicates and send them to magazines?

It's a different world, and that's why Kodachrome is gone. Now all that's left are the freezer-fulls kept by film devotees. And this.
