[Filk] In Memorium - Kodakrome Filk

[bkdelong]

Apparently Kodak is now discontinuing manufacturing and distribution of Kodachrome film. A sad day but a nice tribute.

Courtesy of a post by derspatchel from last week, my own quick, random cold-induced tribute to the famous Paul Simon song "Kodachrome" - we still have our Cameraphonochromes:

Cameraphonochrome
[to the tune of "Kodachrome" by Paul Simon¹]

They give us those annoying T-talkers
They give us the freaky hands-free seeming-stalkers
Makes you think all the world's a crazy place, Oh yeah
I got a iPhone gadget
But love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my cameraphone away
So mama don't take my cameraphone away
So mama don't take my cameraphone away

My Dad bought a freezer and generator just for film, about 10-15 years ago. He still uses silverplate.
There are people who will be stockpiled and supplying. Camera magazines will have ads.

It's a shame, there's a beauty in a black and white still that no digital camera can come close to expressing.
