Hi, Darr,Dave,
I do not think I ever shot Kodachrome in 120. I looked for some Kodachrome info and found this: Kodachrome 64 film in 120 format was discontinued in 1996 and it was only available from 1986-1996. That is a small window compared to other formats that were available from 1935-2007. I know I shot it in 135 and I have a t-shirt from Dwayne's Photo memorializing the last day of development for Kodachrome on December 30, 2010.
The "Broke Down" photo was made a few weeks ago on Route 27 about 45 minutes south of Tallahassee. We stopped to help the lady that was broke down with a jump start, and bought a bag of pecans. The owner of the stand is a very elderly man with not much to sell, and could not help the lady. I stop there whenever we pass through and buy whatever he is selling if he is open. One reason I live in North Florida is because it is still rural. North Florida is more like Alabama and South Georgia than what a lot of people perceive Florida to be.
Kind regards,
Darr
Edit: Dave, me thinks you are *really good* at being a host, so maybe you can start a new thread asking for Kodachrome images (any format). Maybe we might all start looking through our notebooks of film and start posting some. Just a thought.
That is certainly an interesting suggestion. I will consider doing just that, thanks!
A little research has so far indicated that not many people are sharing 120 Kodachrome images online. However, there is a wealth of amazing images by professionals associated with corporate entities. The most obvious seems to be National Geographic.
Here is a link but somehow I think these may be 135 instead of 120 format but at least the image character should remind and inspire us all..,

There are others.
Having started a very successful 135 Kodachrome thread on another forum two years ago, I found that the personal images of posters showing home life, travel, family vacations, and events were like viewing our past through a lens that could provide a "time-travel" experience of sorts.
Are there enough 120 Kodachrome images out "there" somewhere that would make an interesting thread? We may find out soon.
For now, I am ordering some Ektachrome 120 ...:thumbup:
