"Today is the day that Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons, Kansas, the last lab on the planet to process Kodachrome, stops developing the iconic film forever. When Kodak stopped producing the film last year, they gave me the last roll. When I finished shooting the final frames, I hand-delivered it to Parsons. Here are a few of those last 36 frames." - Steve McCurry
Here is a link to photographer Steve McCurry's blog, as he details the last roll of Kodachrome. It's an interesting story, although the death of Kodachrome didn't hit me nearly as hard as the Poloraoid demise.
I didn't use Kodachrome much back in the day and not at all in the digital age, but I will miss the saturated colors. Or maybe not since photoshop can give me color.
