The Last Roll of Kodak Kodachrome

By Rocky Thompson on July 27th, 2010

The photojournalist who shot the iconic National Geographic cover of an Afghan woman in a refugee camp says he’s down to his last roll of Kodachrome. The film made famous by Paul Simon was revered by photographers for its bright, bright colors and was known for achieving those greens of summers. You might be thinking, “I have a box of unused Kokachrome! My retirement plan is working!” Well, don’t hold onto it much longer. Dwayne’s photo shop in Kansas is the last place that will process the film, and they’ll cease to do so on December 30. Hopefully they don’t mess up developing the last roll.

That photojournalist, Steve McCurry, also has a fantastic photo blog.
