Another loss to the digital age... I just read that Eastman Kodak is going to discontinue Kodachrome film this year due to lack of sales. It was introduced in 1935 and was the first commercially successful color film.

I saw that on FOX News this morning.

Makes you want to sing a Paul Simon song [Wink]

I have shot literally thousands of rolls of Kodak film through the years... and still have most of those pictures on file. But I stopped using my old SLR film camera about 5 years ago... With the improvement of the digital quality and the BIG cost savings and most importantly the ability to edit my own pictures it was an easy decision.

I'd never go back.

Times change and we have to change with them.

wow Joe,.....it happened TWICE?? [Eek!] [Rolling On The Floor]

Although I haven't used film for several years, that song starts to play in my head every time I hear the word "Kodachrome". I doubt if anyone will ever write as memorable a song about the memory card for our digital cams. Oh well, that's something else to add to my list of "the way things used to be" for the stories I tell my grandkids! [Wink]

I wonder what we will do when the cornfields dry up here in Nebraska?
