KA: Kodachrome "just not practical to try to replicate in today's market."

Why didn't you get the film already exposed off to Dwayne's right away?

Better than Tim Horton anyway... can't believe people drink this hot dish water.

Tim Horton's is now using the cheap crap that McDonald's used to use. McDonald's is now using what Tim Horton's used to use. I went off coffee several years ago. I only drink Timmy's steeped tea. Their doughnuts are crap, too...

My film is about the last space shuttle launches- part of why I started this project was because both the space shuttle and Kodachrome were triumphs of Americana and both calling it quits around the same time. I loved the idea of making a movie in which the subject and the medium were related. When we started, all launches were planned to happen before Dwayne's stopped. When the missions were pushed back, I still thought the film was special because the film I shot it on mattered- in a way, the film and the subject were bonded. If I were to change course in the middle of the project it would lose what I felt was special.

If you had changed course you'd have a finished project, now you have however much 8 year old exposed film and dick for a project. When you got to the end of KR you could have inserted a title explaining the situation, and finished with anything else. Instead you persisted in using unuseable film and now you're wasting more time effort and money. Very smart.

I did. I have two launches that are safely processed and waiting for their friends.

Time will tell. Personally, I think no one would have cared about a film made in a way that you're describing. And as an artist, I didn't feel like making that movie.

McDonald's has surprisingly good coffee.

Yes, it is good coffee. The only reason Starbucks exists is because people on dating sites go there for a first date. Their coffee is terrible.

Look everyone, just let's untangle our undies and relax. This has polarised to a bad extent. I have Kodachrome frozen, both 135 and 120, I'd dearly love it's return. But, it's about as likely as Ambrose Bierce knocking at my door to share a snifter of brandy.
However, all we have to be is patient! Yes, patience is more than a virtue, in fact it's a necessity.
If we are very patient, there is a chance that sooner or later stochastic ooze will deliver a complete, running K-lab, full of fresh chemistry and perhaps a technician to run it, right to someone's doorstep - maybe even their basement!
Then I can start looking for Ambrose, and get a slide or two of us.

That's it! I want one. Thanks.

if you get really bored
find a 4 shot polaroid camera ( or any camera ) and put 25A, 58 and 47B filters on it ...

here's some info on doing it yourself ( like this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Prokudin-Gorsky )

I enjoy Starbucks coffee quite a lot. I just dont like paying for it.

Really? I always thought those were pretty interesting stories. I think they made a movie about the Tim Burton Superman film that wasn't made; they also made a movie about Roger Corman's unreleased Fantastic Four movie. There's another very popular film about Terry Gilliam's unsuccessful first attempt to make Man of LaMacha.I think there's another in production about George Miller's unmade Justice League film. Its possible people do care.

Lots of effort to make movies about movies nobody cares about. Those are just ones off the top of my head- there's probably lots more.

But I think you're missing the point- I'm not trying to be you. You take your own pictures and I'll take mine. Because how on earth could I sit at my computer here and judge the photos you've taken and what they mean to you? How could I tell you that your art isn't worth it it you?I don't think I can and I'm surprised you think you can.

Interesting material. I assume the Devin somehow compensates for one plate having light passing through two semisilvered mirrors.

The one color photo of Tolstoy in 1908 - wow. I like that.

I like this process - I'm tempted to try it, but the exposures won't be simultaneous.

not sure how the devin works .. you are probably right ( im clueless so im just agreeing )
yeah the russian guy's plates are mind blowing
the whole collection is >>> http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?st=grid&co=prok

that's ok ( not simultaneous ) .. unless you have a polaroid you can do it one exposure at a time,
its super easy
just posted one in the gallery i did a while back ..
unless you print color you will have to do a little photoshop stuff
which is super easy ...

Remember that there have been many many people trying to "make" or "reproduce" Kodachrome. They are almost all here on Phototrio(APUG).

It can be done and can be done. I see no one taking Steve Frizza up on his offer to process Kodachrome.

Yes. Steve was only asking for around c. $250 a roll with very good quality results... Come on kids, put your money where your mouth is, what seems to be the hold up??

I don't remember him offering processing. I thought he didn't want to do it. But then again, I might be mistaken

That was my recollection too. I thought the did it for the technical challenge, succeeded, and decided it was too much trouble to do again.

I don't think Stephen is involved in anything photographic at this time.

Look up "foamy the squirrel starbucks rant".

Hmm. Bit of a language problem: I would need subtitles to understand that. That's ok, I could not understand the South Park thing either. I need slow speech - I am constantly "rewinding" my TV/DVR to understand what people have said. If I give up, I turn on the captions.

I did not realize Steve Frizza had offered processing. In fact, my understanding was the opposite: that he explicitly did not want to process film from others.

For my single 8mm roll, I'd pay a lot more than $250.

Some people claim Al Bundy's knee was down at the 1 on his 4th TD in the 1966 City Championship game for Polk High.

its not hard to develop kodachrome. its a waste not to process it.
you just use a bw print developer like dektol it takes about 6mins

Apparently you and I have different definitions of "many," Ron.
