Kodachrome & Culture by Abhay Sharma & Paul Sergeant, January/February 2010

“Kodachrome was a beautiful film – bright vivid colors, low grain and images that jumped out of the screen and filled the projection room with the awe of mountain landscapes, close-up portraits, and children playing on backyard swings.”

Abhay Sharma and Paul Sergeant give readers a photographic milestone, as our Kodachrome is taken away… The writers present a capsule of the history and science of the film, its inventors, and its manufacturer, Eastman Kodak.

Dr. Abhay Sharma and Paul Sergeant are members of the Photographic Preservation and Collections Management program at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada, where Dr. Sharma is Program Chair.
