The end of Kodachrome

Kodak is still dead to me, and long before digital became a reality Kodak was still fucking up what was great, trying to figure out ways to squeeze an extra scintilla of silver out of a roll of film ending up with crap and then spending a small fortune on advertising trying to get us to believe it was raining when they pissed on our shoes.

I still predict that Kodak will be extinct in 10 or 20 years.

They won't sell or share the patents and info and equipment they no longer use.

At one point they tried to force the chemists who made their Infra Red film into early retirement only to discover that you couldn't take some fresh faced young grad form RIT and hand him the recipe and expect him to make it work. They ended up having a huge shortage until they could entice their old chemists back and then they still had to eliminate a few emulsions.

They are fuck ups in my book.
