"When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall"
"Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away.'' - Paul Simon
Mama's not taking it away, Kodak is. I know it's business. I also know it is sad when the icons of our life go away. Kodachrome was older than most of us (74). It has a rich history that is pervasive throughout every family photo album as well as every photo magazine of the 20th century.
Here is a link to a tribute from Kodak.
Another tribute from the Chicago Tribune.
