Kodachrome film is being "retired" because of "declining demand". It's the end of an era, and digital is now unstoppable, at least for colour. Now that modern printers can do blacks properly, the end is probably in sight for B&W too. This is Kodachrome by Paul Simon:
This is a slideshow made by Kodak to show some of the things done with their film. I strongly recommend you have a look through the images as they are amazing:

I'm off to Glastonbury in a few minutes so I won't be around in blogland for a while. Have fun everyone. I'll provide a full report and some photos on my return.
Cheers, Tom.
P.S. Thanks to Charlotte for suggesting the title and Paul Simon

It will be a loss but an inevitable one I'm afraid as digital has advanced to the stage when not many people will be bothering with film...Hope you had a great time at Glastonbury...and hope the weather held out for you...
Mmmmm.....Another case of...The Old Order changes yielding place to new.....! Have a good day, Tom!
