slide film was developed last
December (2010) by Dwayne’s
Photo, signaling the first death

Kodachrome rewarded generations of
skilled users with a richness of color
and a unique treatment of light that
many photographers described as
incomparable even as they shifted to
digital cameras.

111. “To send light into
the darkness of men's
hearts - such is the
duty of the artist.”
~Schumann
A good photo should provoke emotion,
tell a story, create art, promote natural
beauty or capture a memory that MUST
be preserved.
If it doesn’t do one of these, a photo
isn’t worth having.

113. How Relevant
are your
photos?
Its up to you to MAKE them relevant!
Trends and Convergence are just tools that
you can use to keep your photos fresh and
relevant. But, don’t rely solely on them.
Be creative, set yourself apart and develop
your own style.

He captures moments in time that will never happen again. There is great value in that skill if done artistically.\n- CB used a Rangefinder so he almost always had his camera on him.\n
