Trainspotter Develops $15,798 Worth of Dead Kodachrome Film [Photography]

Trainspotter Develops ,798 Worth of Dead Kodachrome Film [Photography] The realm’s last photo-lab using the rare chemicals Kodak’s Kodachrome film requires for developing ran out in December -but not before Jim DeNike rushed over 1,580 rolls of film he had lying around. Guess what they were of?

The cash came at a value to his father’s retirement account, which DeNike Junior borrowed from. [ NY Times via PC Mag via Peta Pixel ]
