Kodak Kodachrome
June 25, 2009 by Mike Wong • 1 Comment
As many of you have probably already heard, earlier this week, Kodak made it official that they are discontinuing sales of KODACHROME color film this year. The end of a 74 year run.
The only reason I mention this, is earlier today, I was browsing the web site of Los Angeles Times Staff Photographer Robert Lachman and came across the collection of photos his father, Mort Lachman, took of Bob Hope using 35mm Kodak KODACHROME film. Robert (@photoandmac on Twitter) has been sharing these photos with readers of his website for almost a year now.

Be sure to read the stories on Robert's web site to learn more about his father Mort and his relationship with Bob Hope. There are some great photos up there.
Many thanks for this particular informative post. Occasionally, the very best information originate from the blogs you wouldn’t expect. Recently, I did not give so much thought to commenting on web log entries and have left responses even less. Taking note of your good report, may well inspire me to do so again.
