The Last Roll of Kodachrome
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Some classic portraits there! (Would have been better with a digital slr and photoshop though.

Re: The Last Roll of Kodachrome
If you watched the video you saw that, because he had only 36 shots and no extra film to waste, McCurry took a lot of test shots with his digital camera. It was an interesting experiment, and the results were spectacular and worthy of the historical significance of the project.Gob wrote:Some classic portraits there!

That said, the artistry in photography is always not in the camera or the film or the pixels, but in the photographer. (That was a compliment to you, Gob, in case you hadn't noticed!
