ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY

Analog photography, also known as film photography, is a catch-all term for photography that uses chemical processes to capture an image, typically on paper. Today analog photography nearly disappeard. But it was my start into the universe of photography. I mainly used Kodachrome 64, sometimes Kodachrome 25.

 

Kodachrome was considered a great film for cameras due to its exceptional color accuracy, remarkable longevity when stored properly, fine grain structure, high sharpness, and a unique color palette that many photographers loved, making it a popular choice for professional and archival photography, particularly for its ability to capture rich, vibrant colors without appearing overly saturated; however, its complex development process ultimately led to its discontinuation as more convenient film options became available. 

Unfortunately, there was no way to develop this film in Brazil, as far as I knew. So I sent the films by airmail to a specialist laboratory known to me in Germany. And waited patiently until the developed slides arrived back to me in Brazil. This "development process" took at least 14 days. I have to say that I only sent the films to be developed after I had exposed no less than 10 rolls.

The last roll of Kodachrome film was developed on December 30, 2010 at Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas.
