Introduced in the 1930s, Kodachrome was the first commercial color film widely used by both professionals and amateurs. For much of the 20th century it was cheap and widely available. The process used to develop Kodachrome is complex and volatile, and completely different than any other color film. The colors it produces are simply gorgeous. In June of this year Kodak stopped producing Kodachrome citing an insufficient demand due to the rise of digital camera technology. Currently there is only one company - Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas - that still develops Kodachrome commercially. I bought a few expired rolls off ebay and shot one of them at the Minnesota State Fair. I'm glad I did, but I sure am sad that my time with Kodachrome will be so brief.
