Kodak’s taking Kodachrome away

The Associated Press had this story about the demise of a classic and wonderful film, the color slide film I used to photograph my book, and most assignments through the 80′s and early 90′s.

“Sorry, Paul Simon, Kodak is taking your Kodachrome away. The Eastman Kodak Co. announced Monday it’s retiring its oldest film stock because of declining customer demand in an increasingly digital age. The world’s first commercially successful color film, immortalized in song by Simon, spent 74 years in Kodak’s portfolio. It enjoyed its heyday in the 1950s and ’60s but in recent years has nudged closer to obscurity: Sales of Kodachrome are now just a fraction of 1 percent of the company’s total sales of still-picture films, and only one commercial lab in the world still processes it.”

We’ll miss you Kodachrome!

Forward Thinking Vision – Ron Sims

My friend Ron Sims, was just tapped to serve as a Deputy Secretary in President Obama’s Cabinet. I had photographed Ron for a story about his forward thinking vision, and savvy of how technology can work for people. Obama can’t do it alone, he’ll need a great team, with members like Ron Sims to help us realize the potential of what we can be as a nation.
