Kodachrome and me from 1971 till today.

Willimantic or Coventry 1996
Photographic Art a prolific period, perhaps my most inspired years? I do want to go back to 1973 and Cosey Beach and stroll once more the beaches of a past life. Simpler a less technically distracted time. But I will wait for the next season for the year I spent there it was always spring. enjoy pjc

Photographic Art Kodachrome

The radio says Dwayne’s the last lab to process Kodachrome if it arrive by today has 1000 rolls two of which are mine. Perhaps you will see some later perhaps you won’t.

From the past, I sat sipping Tia Maria on a cold evening alone waiting for… a ride or a friend well both I guess. If my memory is correct and it often strays I think it is at the former 28 North Street restaurant in Willimantic, or perhaps way back in another life at Panache in Providence. Funny after all these years I am sure of the drink and time of year but not positive of the place. It is a transparency, hand held at a very slow shutter speed F2.8 50mm lens. Today I’ll be out doing very sad things and shooting Kodachrome 64 for it has to be to the lab in Kansas by the 30th to be processed. Then no more Kodachrome death to the best film ever made. No need for quality fix it in photo shop besides few know the difference and even fewer care. An era ends as we the people move to the USofWalmart big cheap boxes designed to break in time for the next new and improved update. Ya I don’t fit in this 140 character world. Off to don long johns and take my 1969 Nikon that took this image out for a spin.
