Kodakchrome Requiem

Last week’s announcement that Eastman Kodak would “retire” Kodak film  
left many photographers feeling nostalgic, although few apparently  
still were purchasing the product.  Its passing deserves far more than  
a quick refrain of Paul Simon’s Kodachrome song although younger  
generations may be left to wonder if another technology is taking  
their JPEGs, TIFFs, and GIFs away.
We take more photographs than ever before, thanks in part to the fact  
that photography, sans film and processing costs, has become almost  
free.  But this comes at a price:
