PHOTOGRAPHY: After this month, cult-favorite Kodachrome slide film, which stopped being manufactured in 2009, will no longer be processed (which brings a fat tear to this photography-loving contributor's eye). RayKo Photo Center celebrates the glorious and richly colorful life of Kodachrome with a juried exhibition featuring images by 23 different artists from across the country. It truly is the end of an era. (Sigh.) If you have any undeveloped Kodachrome film sitting around, get it processed at Dwayne's Photo by 12/30/2010.
