Even before I knew what Kodachrome was Paul Simon had already immortalized the film's striking capacity to rendering light. Digital has made all of our jobs easier. It's made the "acquisition of imagery" easier and more accessible. It's saved time and money. It's cut out messy and dangerous chemical processes. But I can't recall the last time I heard a song praising the attributes to digital...not even in an elevator. Give a little time I guess.
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the worlds a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Miss that stuff. And Poloroid for that matter (Stopping production Jan 1 2009) Can we get Simon and Garfunkel to sing that one?
