Broken twigs cleverly placed on a lawn spell out what happened to our beloved Kodachrome this week. Yes, the fine folks at Kodak, in Rochester, NY, announced that the granddaddy and gold standard of all color film has been discontinued. The last roll of Kodachrome film has left the building.
It is the end of yet […]
“Folks” is hand written on this slide. Do these “folks” realize they left their camera on the hood of their car? The camera is the Argus Seventy Five, mass-produced in Ann Arbor, Michigan between 1953 and 1958. The car is a 1961 Plymouth Fury.
Flaring, wrap around front fenders make this the one of the […]
An enormous package of Oreo cookies jumping out of a TV, two giant little girls and white-lined red letters, spelling out what is short for National Biscuit Company, simply dwarf a sideswiped 1940 Dodge.

A lone gunboy takes aim from the tailgate of a 1958 Plymouth Sport Suburban station wagon. His stance is sure and his aim is studied as he stares down the barrel of a toy rifle. He is dressed to kill in a smart striped knit tee tucked into indigo denim blue jeans held up with […]
This slide isn’t about that big, beautiful shocking pink bow on the fruit-filled Easter basket that has a thanksgiving horn of plenty attitude or the gray crushed velvet patterned Formica tabletop its sits on slightly off center. It’s not about how well Spanish gold curtains go with sage green walls, the pink cabinet in the […]
It’s a quarter past high noon in the very midst of the San Fernando Valley. A futuristic high tech digital clock tells us so. But the clock isn’t as futuristic as the curvaceous creation it marks. This is the Tomorrowland of Van Nuys Boulevard.
A man and a woman pose together beside the flying nun- […]
