Today Kodak announced it will cease production of Kodachrome.  If you’re sitting at your desk right now reading this please stand and observe a moment of silence to honor the passing of this legend.

If video killed the radio star, then pixels are the prime suspect in the death of Kodachrome.  But the pixel had accomplices, accomplices like YOU and sadly me.  Admit your guilt, I have.  When was the last time you shot a roll of Kodachrome?  The last time I shot Kodachrome was in college, at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and I think we were assigned to shoot it by the professor.  I haven’t even picked up a 35mm film camera this year, digital dominates my world.

So while many people will be crying out the lyrics from Paul Simon’s song Kodachrome, 99.9% of us have no one to blame but ourselves.
