The Very Last Roll of Kodachrome Film Ever Made Was Used to Capture NYC [Photography]

The very last roll of kodachrome film produced by Eastman Kodak was processed recently. It was used by freelance photographer Steve McCurry to take photos of latest York City. Steve specifically requested to be the person to take advantage of this final roll as he has used the product in the course of the years;

Kodak announced last year that it can retire Kodachrome, a brand name of color reversal film it had manufactured since 1935. McCurry, well-known for his 1984 photograph of Sharbat Gula, or the \” Afghan Girl,\” published on the duvet of National Geographic magazine, requested from Kodak to shoot the last roll of 36 frames it manufactured.

All 36 of the shots taken by Steve will likely be sent to \” the Eastman House in Rochester, Manhattan, where Kodak relies, and live there.\” [Wichita Eagle]
