Kodachrome

"Kodachrome"

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's
a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together
for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse
in black and white

Linux is like a wigwam. No windows, no gates, apache inside!

Kodachrome is the saddest song, because he sings "mama don't take my Kodachrome away" and they did :(

Love Kodachrome but don't agree that "everything looks worse in black and white".

As long as nobody starts speculating about how to make a kodachrome processing line in their basement, I think we're safe ;)

Thanks, François. On the other hand, there must be a dozen of Photoshop filters that emulate Kodachrome look
so installing Kodachrome processing line in someone's basement probably won't happen.

Well... if you troll APUG long enough, I'm sure you'll find it ;)

I am a huge fan of the stuff. I wish I could've shot some. But I could get c41 free at work.
