End of the line for Kodachrome
So why do I still shoot the occasional roll of Kodachrome? Simple really, I want my daughters to have the opportunity in years to come to unearth a yellow box, open it, and hold up to the light to see the slides that bring back their memories, and memories of our little family.

Karim said: "We are doing what freelances can't afford to do, and we are in a good position as we have numbers and can buy in bulk."
Will it work, I see no reason for it not to, and it could be the first step on the way to reaching a new audience.
