It's one of those cases where you really can say the end of an era is in
sight, because future generations will associate the "look" of the past
fifty years or so with the look of Kodachrome and similar film stocks,
the way we associate a part of the 19th Century with the Daguerreotype.
And the downside is what?
Losing a technology that made some very beautiful images possible.
Quote: Eras end. The same lament could be said for
the Brownie that introduced the masses to photography. And there may
even be some who miss the clicking and clacking of the slide
projector. For all the sad songs about the demise of certain
technologies or processes, there as many upsides. "Art" is being
demystified and democratized and while that may be a different
conversation, it is an upside of the digital world.
Wasn't suggesting that there was no upside to the new technologies, or
that I'd trade them for the old ones -- just offering a little "ave
atque vale" to something I'll miss.
