The deadline came and went yesterday: the cut-off for Dwayne’s Photo-lab accepting Kodachrome for processing. Apparently there was a huge surge of film being sent in to beat the deadline, but no more will be accepted now.
For seventy-five years Kodachrome has been used to illustrate the storyboard of much of humanity; what a priceless legacy!
The image below is one I captured on the Kodachrome Photowalk in October of this year. Nothing special about it, but as one of countless millions of Kodachrome images created in seventy-five years, it shares in that collective legacy.
Thank you Kodachrome. In a century where so much of the technology developed was for the express purpose of killing each other more efficiently and in larger numbers, your technology was made for creativity, truth and beauty.
And as a tool of creation, you are more powerful than any tool of destruction.

Wow! Stunning image – I’m going to see if someone in the family still has a slide projector so I can show the Kodachrome slides I took on the walk you organized.
I don’t think I got anything as spectacular as this shot, but it will still be great to see them up on a screen (or wall, more likely).

Thanks Rob!
Be carefully showing them for too long on a projector; that is the one thing that can cause fading!

The audience’s interest follows the same pattern – show for too long and they fade; more quickly than the Kodachrome does, I suspect 🙂
