State Fair Time!

October 19, 2009

This past Saturday, my wife Stephanie and I made our way out to Fair Park for our annual trip to the State Fair, we had a blast, spent some money, walked around enjoying the weather, which was unusual for us, because when we usually go by ourselves, it’s usually cold or raining, or both!  Nope not this year, 72 degrees.  Ate some good food, which what the fair is all about!  We didn’t eat the Fried Butter though, maybe next year!

Kodachrome….

October 6, 2009

By now everyone knows about Kodak putting the nail into a piece of photographic history by killing off their legendary emulsion Kodachrome earlier this year.  And Dwayne’s in Kansas, the only lab in the world that still does the K-14 process (how Kodachrome is developed) announced that they are going to stop developing and processing Kodachrome.  I bought two of these rolls of K64 about 5 years ago, (these rolls expired in October 2003) and stuck them in my freezer.  Due to a recent move out of my old apartment, I took out all the film that I had frozen (most of it expired).  I had forgotten about these rolls, I was saving them for some special occasion or something.  And now, with the end of the year rapidly approaching us, I need to take to the streets and shoot something with it, just to say that I shot some Kodachrome.  I don’t know exactly what though….
