Off Topic - Kodachrome - only one lab in the world now
Date:Tue, 18 Nov 2008 08:02:39 +0100
When minium wages was 25 cents per hour a Kodachrome was $5... If you love photography, you'll enjoy these old WPA photos. Kodachrome had a few problems at birth, but within a year or two became the premier color film of all time. Nothing has ever surpassed it for resolution and archival qualities. Sadly, it has essentially died out and only one lab in the world will still process it, and then only 35mm. The WPA was a good thing for at the time, and because they paid professional photographers to document the program we have a legacy of photographs, many in color, that realistically documented that period in our history. This site (link below) is well worth a look if you like history and photography. www.openmyeyeslord.net/ALookBackInHistory.htm
