The wonder of Kodachrome

Kodachrome, now an obsolete format, never ceases to amaze in its dazzling rendition of color.

I have a very large collection of National Geographic Yearbooks, and one of the joys of looking through the pages is the incredible Kodachrome photographs, taken by very talented photographers.

Kodachrome can be considered the equivalent of moving pictures' Technicolor, although a different production process is used, the effects are similar.

Bond, James Bond

Sun protection

Geez -- no place to stick your umbrella in the sand.
