— unpredictable thoughts

The best slide and movie film in his­tory is now offi­cially retired. Kodachrome: 1935–2010.

My heart is broken.

Paul Simon — Kodachrome

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It’s a won­der
I can think at all
And though my lack of edu—cation
Hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writ­ing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright col­ors
They give us the greens of sum­mers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon cam­era
I love to take a pho­to­graph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was sin­gle
And brought them all together for one night
I know they’d never match
my sweet imag­i­na­tion
every­thing looks WORSE in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright col­ors
They give us the greens of sum­mers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon cam­era
I love to take a pho­to­graph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
