End of The Analog Film Era

NEW YORK - JUNE 22:  A saleswoman holds a box ...Image by Getty Images 
2010 Marks the end of the use of Kodachrome. I was lucky enough to shoot on Kodachrome while studying film at the University of Michigan.  When I look at the images crafted from the chemical film process and compare them to the most advanced digital cameras today, I still prefer the old analog way.  It's not about a difference in quality (though one could argue so), rather that film has a majestic, almost magical process which was heightened by the delay of instant gratification -- it requires a process to see what's "in the can."  My first New Year's resolution is to shoot more analog film...if I can find any rolls left!  Click the text below to lament this beautiful (now) extinct analog photography.

Today is the day that Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons, Kansas, the last lab on the planet to process Kodachrome, stops developing the iconic film forever. When Kodak stopped producing the film last year, they gave me the last roll. When I finished shooting the final frames, I hand-delivered it to Parsons. Here are a few of those last 36 frames.
