Steve McCurry, who’s best known for shooting the Afghan Girl photograph, requested that he be allowed to shoot the last roll of Kodachrome Kodak ever produced.  National Geographic documented his journey shooting the final roll.

Russo said they documented McCurry shooting the final roll of film in New York, then traveling to Bombay and Rajasthan, India, then back to New York, shooting along the way several personalities of the world of filmmaking.

McCurry said he spent about two months shooting the images, which also included scenic photos, as well as serendipitous moments on the streets of New York.

Hopefully, National Geographic will print a few of the photographs.  It truly is the passing of an era.

Kodak retires KODACHROME

Not surprising.  The passing of an era.

Somehow, Paul Simon singing about EKTACHROME wouldn’t have the same ring.
