Kodachrome

On June 22nd, Kodak announced that it was discontinuing the production of Kodachrome 64, ending a 74 year production run. Kodachrome was the first mass producted color film and probably the finest. Having spend quite a lot of time going through Kodachrome slides this last year. It a sad loss, but I think we all knew that this would happen, as it is becoming more and more likely that the film camera is going the way of the dinosaur and Oldsmobile. Just a fond memory. Anyway I have decided to purchase a couple rolls of this film to shoot for myself, hopefully I will have it soon. So tonight a Kodachrome slide of the Kalakala, a relic preserved on a relic. Note the Kalakala is flying the flag of the Black Ball Line, so the photo is pre-1951.
