I'll bet I shot at least 1,000 Kodachrome slides, both 25 and 64 speed. Reds in particular were enhanced beautifully. Some of my best photos were shot on rainy days, when colors were further naturally saturated. Paul Simon, you were a prophet! I can’t believe it.

My appreciation for the unique qualities of Kodachrome blossomed when Charles Phoenix started collecting and sharing Kodachrome slides! So thank you, Charles.

We had a slide show of our own on the neighbors white siding one night during the winter. It was fun to see the island pictures with a back ground of snow in New York. Ahhh... the simple times and the fun we could find back then!!! Wintertime in the 1970′s my friend and I found slides of her family when they were stationed in Hawaii 1966.

A film which perfectly suited the era; both gone but fondly remembered. My childhood memories are preserved on 8mm Kodachrome home movies, and for years, I've been doing my part by using Kodachrome in an old 3-D Stereo Realist camera. No other film is quite like it, and at least it is comforting to know that so many continue to appreciate this icon of Americana; the one that recorded all the others. A continued thanks to you Charles, and all the others who keep Kodachrome alive in the slides you share with us.

I discovered 35mm photography the summer of '71 and my first SLR, a Yashica Penta, loaded with Kodachrome II, took some of the most beautiful images I made in 20 yrs. of photo hobbyism. I still love to look back at my old slides. And it is because of those grand 35mm cameras, AND Kodachrome that blogs like Daveland, Gorillas Don't Blog, and Stuff At The Park have such WONDERFULL images, (moments frozen in time) to share with us all. AND of course, the delights that Mr. Phoenix shares. Yes, the demise of our (and Paul Simon’s) favotite is a real blow.
