Our world is rocked.

Oh holy cow. Our world has been rocked. Well, the other day I got a phone call from my husband telling me that Kodak announced that they will be discontinuing Kodachrome film. I know, you are saying "so what". Well this film is an awsome film. The truest color, finest contrast and detail of anything I've ever shot. You can make bill boards of the images and not see any grain or imperfection because it is so fine. I used it quite a bit in the early years. Granted it isn't a forgiving film. If your exposure was off, it was off. Unlike print film that you can expose the print a little longer - it is just off. I have boxes and boxes of slides as does my husband, of our family memories and professional work on this film. Of course in the greater scheme of things - it isn't the end of the world but it just seems like another hit to the Big Yellow Father, Kodak.
