Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

My Kodachrome
I finally received my 3 boxes of kodachrome slides back from Dwayne's Photo of Parsons, Kansas. Dwayne's was the world's last Kodachrome processor. The film is beautiful and the color is amazing. What I will now long regret is not shooting more slide film, these 3 rolls of Kodachrome were my first, problably last slide film. I have several rolls of 35mm black and white film and bunch of color film laying around, I think I might try to shoot it this year from time to time. Film is so much different from digital, it took over a year to shoot 3 rolls of kodachrome. That's about 108 shots, I can do that in an evening with the elk, using a digital camera. Even now looking at the slides I have, I don't know if I truly used the film wisely. I guess part of that, was not having use the stuff before I assumed it was much slower than it actually was, that tidbit I didn't realize until the very end. Oh well it was fun and I can say I shot three rolls of kodachrome. In the days to come, watch for some of the slides to make there way to this, America's Finest Blog.
