Been reading books about photography lately - just to know and understand the basics. Although I use the point and shoot digicam (and view right away too!) -- I still remember the good old days of the film. (Yes, film -those plastic rolls we buy, place inside our cameras, and gets processed in a laboratory before we can finally view our photos taken a day, a week, or a month ago).Then this piece of stale news got me...

In June 22 2009, Kodak announced to retire KODACHROME Film, concluding its 74-year run.
This is the famous photo by well-known professional photographer Steve McCurry of a young Afghan girl. Cover of National Geographic Magazine in 1985, taken using KODACHROME Film. A true Kodachrome moment.
Sad news for those professional photographers who love Kodachrome but the world of photography moves on giving way to newer films and digital.
For Kodachrome lovers, visit this Tribute to Kodachrome.
