They give us those nice bright colors. They give us the greens of summers. Makes you think all the worlds a sunny day,... So Mama dont take my Kodachrome away. - Paul Simon
Thanks gkarris for beating me to the punch! Paul Simon's song was the first thing in my head when I read the story.
^^^ because Kodak has new Ekta slide film, and you can now get instant cameras and film from Fuji...
I mourned the loss of my favourite film (Fuji Velvia) right up to the moment when I took a deep breath and went digital. In the three years since then, I haven't looked back at film-based photography with any great nostalgia.
I thought my photographic world had ended when my favourite film disappeared. But it wasn't the end at all... just the beginning..
I bought a case of Velvia when I heard the announcement and eventually sold off the remaining stock in the fridge before it expired.
Even still, it'd be nice if I had the space and means to continue to use film right now.
