I started serious photography around 1997, back when we used to store images in these small cylindrical canisters called “film” and we used to wait at least an hour or so before we realize if we screwed the exposure of our photos.

I was fortunate enough to experience the “golden years” of analog film; I shoot mostly on slides and pure B&W film and even process my own film in my own “darkroom”…which is actually our bathrooms and my wife used to complain about the stench of those chemicals that I use.  I had my slide film developed via snail mail using Fuji’s or Kodak’s mailers and spent a fortune on high-quality archival sleeves to store those slides.

Ah yes…the memories…so why did I bring this up?
While rummaging through the chaotic forums of DPReview, I came across this guy’s collection of images taken with Kodachrome.  It hit me like a sledgehammer to my nuts…reminded me of how beautiful analog film looked.   Of course, the guy clearly has talent and skill, but his use of the technology back then is just amazing, simply put.

Here is his website about his passion of one of the truly greatest imaging medium: the Kodachrome.

Yes, I’m sure that the reason AirTran removed the Muslim family from a recent flight was for security reasons. Do they really have to have the FBI involved? And then refuse to re-book them DESPITE being cleared by the FBI? Really now?

If I was the head honcho of AirTran? I would have not removed them from the flight in the first place, you know why? Oh I don’t know…maybe because of the fact THEY WERE ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR CHILDREN?

This makes me ashamed of being an American.
