No More Kodachrome

.
Happy day after Thanksgiving. For me this is another one of the "we are not going to pay you and you are not going to work days".

We had DJ's dad and . . . friend over along with Josh, Jenny and Caydence and the 6 of us stuffed ourselves on Turkey (Caydence opted for milk). Then we all went into a Tryptophanic coma.

What is Tryptophan? Look on the right. Need I say more? I didn't think , pretty self explanatory! I mean ya got FOUR "H's" and only two "N's" and two "O's" and that big black line! WOW, WHAT is up with that!!

The big thing is once that bugger on the right takes a hold this can happen.


In other news . . . .hmmmmm . . . I have no other news.

I'm working on a Time Machine. That watch you saw the other day is going to turn into something that looks like this. Hopefully on someones wall.

The BIG news is that I got frustrated yesterday with my computers. I'm looking for a copy of Front Page or Dreamweaver. I have no way to update my site from home. My laptop has no software and my desktop computer that has Frontpage 98 has no inputs made in this century. I had figured out a work around but once I loaded a few pages the Weather Station started to burp up and everything froze. sigh. Both software's cost about $250. I had Dreamweaver School Edition but the problem with school additions is that they are only good for one computer and ONLY one. No switching. You lose it you lose it.

--------------------------------------------

Wednesday I took a road trip to the Porsche dealership and shot some look and feel photos in anticipation for an upcoming event.



----------------------------------------

I mentioned Kodachrome because it is not only no longer made by Kodak but there is only one place in the WORLD that will process it , Dwayne's Photo in Parsons Kansas and that will go black at the end of 2010.

Dwayne's is receiving 1000 rolls a day from all around the world as people are snapping their last ever rolls of film.

Kodachrome was the first color film and was marketed in 1935. it was the first time anybody had ever seen themselves in color unless they had been painted.

Also Wednesday I was at the beautiful Columbus Family Dental and took a few snap shots.

And call me daffy but for some reason I really like this shot - I think it goes against all the common rules in photography.

So that has been me little vacation so far.

now I must go and try to get into my little office and clean it out. It seems to be where everything ended up in the big clean . . . . . of course most of the stuff seems to be mine but . . . .

have a great Black Friday.

  2. As always, your photos are fantastic! The idea with the watch photos is great.

    It took me along time to go fully digital. Only been at it about a year. But it is sad film is on its last legs.
