Kodachrome


Kodachrome was a revolutionary type of color film introduced by Kodak in 1935. It was the first successfully mass-marketed color film that used a subtracted method. It became the longest selling color film.

Last year Kodak stopped manufacturing Kodachrome after 75 years. of production. It was a well loved in the photo-journalism world and was especially appreciated for it's longevity in use of photo-archiving. After reading about it's history as it was going out of, I found that many of my favorite photographs were taken using Kodachrome.
