The Early 40's in NYC on Kodachrome
Today I stumbled upon this astonishing collection of color photos taken in the early 1940's by Charles Cushman. They are so vivid, immediate and illuminating - I can't take my eyes off of them. Evidently Cushman was a tourist who snapped these photos on Kodachrome, an expensive color reversal film. Click HERE to read the full article and see more photos.
omg!! I LOVE these!!!

And the beauty and longevity of these photos remind me we could all sing a rousing chorus of: 'Mama don't take my Kodachrome away' - :-)
ReplyDeleteToo late. Kodachrome is gone and Kodak will stop making film altogether very soon.
ReplyDeleteBut you can still buy Fuji.
I love film and will NEVER go digital.
