Last week’s announcement that Kodak will no longer make Kodachrome film is no big surprise.
The Wall Street Journal says a proper goodbye, here to a medium that was employed and loved by many, including Nan Goldin, Dan Graham, Louise Lawler, William Eggleston, William Christenberry, and Joel Meyerowitz, among countless others. And on the WSJ’s Speakeasy – Kodachrome: A Cultural History – jumping from the immediate recognition – Paul Simon’s anthem, to the other great shout-outs this film’s received.
My favorite:
Elvis Costello’s “Watch Your Step” (1981)
When you’re kicking in the courtroom/And you’re drinking down the Eau de Cologne/And you’re spitting out the Kodachrome/You better watch your step.
