I shot a roll of Kodachrome around 1999 of the California coast. I sent it out for processing at the Kodak facility and someone stole the developed photos. Kodak could confirm they received my roll of film but couldn't tell me what happened after that. I really wish I had my photos so I could scan them. I have a degree in photography and some of my photos have been published in magazines. Makes me wonder how they turned out. Wish I could see those images now, what a bummer..

It's actually impossible - on this particular camera the film is rolling in reverse. Once inserted into the camera the whole film is rolled onto the empty roll and then rolls back into the cartridge on every shot. Thus, even if you accidentally open your camera's back all of the exposed shots are already into the cartridge.

There was something special about the delayed gratification of shooting on film and not being able to see the results until days/weeks (even years) after when it was finally processed. I loved the accidental magic that would happen from time to time when you managed to capture that perfect moment, with the perfect lighting/settings and saw it flipping thru your photos for the first time.

I too shot many rolls of Kodachrome 25 and 64 as an industrial and fine art photographer after getting out of college. I started shooting it in 1965 in Jr. High School, all through college and up to the time it was discontinued. All my Kodachrome slides are in pristine now as much as they were then. The was nothing better! I'd always wished I had been available to shoot more of it in medium format. I loved the 6x6 and 6x7 formats. Finest film ever made for slides, none better. The warm color tones were absolutely amazing!! I don't really miss shooting film these days, far more options with digital, but film photography was a true art form. I have scanned many of my Kodachromes into digital files for use with Photoshop. Great documentary, many memories!!

The movie Kodachrome brought me here... if you found this documentary interesting please check out the trailer..Ed Harris is so good in it. He plays a dying world renowned photographer on a road trip with his nurse..Elizabeth Olsen, and estranged son..Jason Sudeikis to Parsons Kansas where the last rolls of kodachrome can be developed. Yes, the movie is predictable and a tear jerker, and heartwarming all at once, but despite itself its a good film all shot on Kodak 35mm. Also if you watch the movie please make sure you watch the complete credits where some excellent pictures were shot.

I just loved Kodachrome, even after much cheaper film appeared. I will forever miss this film, and this technology!

Totally enjoyed watching this documentary! I have gotten into film photography a few years too late so missed out on the Kodachrome era but understand Kodachrome can be cross processed as a B&W negative and recently I've shot several vintage Kodachrome II, 25 and 40 Super 8 and Double 8 movie films and processed them myself as B&W negatives. I am fascinated with vintage colour film photography and have seen via the web how good Kodachrome slides of the 30s/40s look and how well the colour has kept on them, so I totally agree that Kodachrome was the best colour film ever made!

I hope that your life has been full of love and fulfillment since this was originally posted.

I'll always love Kodachrome. It would have been really cool if he had been able to take a photo of Paul Simon on this final roll since they did take his Kodachrome away!

Watched it dozen times. Always the same emotion. Humanity is our hope.

I loved this. It made me proud to be a photographer,although just learning and very sad that we no longer have such a wonderful medium to use. I too,think there was nothing wrong with using the digital to make sure the shot was the way he wanted it and even then somrthing still could have gone wrong. It was if the Universe put this all together perfectly. Those pictures were magic.

Incredibly moving. You are one of the greats, Steve. No doubt about that.

Steve, I am so highly appreciative of your photography with film. I also had used Kodachrome ASA 64 for many years during my 20's,30's, and 40's. I am now 64 and look back at my slides and my prints. I am so impressed with the color saturation and stability of these photographs I took. I am only an amature photographer. But I loved shooting with film. Digital is more instantaneous results in the viewing screen on the back of any Digital camera. While the colors are interesting, Kodachrome had better in depth saturation of nuances of color separation. Digital will capture the color but it is muted in comparison by its ability to compress pixels. It is just not the same.

Amazing no words can describe the efforts behind these photos and the love with which this last role of kodachrome film was shot. Poetic indeed. Steve is a Superman.

Analog photography has some "magic" in it. I've found my old analog SLR that I've been given to in childhood and shot a film, then gave it to a lab. I was much more amazed with the effect than after photographing in digital.

Love this. Love how it goes from wandering around NYC trying to find something interesting, to shooting a portrait of Robert De Niro, to travelling back to India.

+Andy film isn't expensive. Good DSLRs can cost upwards of 1000$, while a decent film SLR camera and lens can be had for 50$. Film itself isn't expensive. A roll of Fujifilm is only 3.50. You can buy 100' ft rolls of Ilford film for only 50$, cutting the cost basically in half. Development can be done at home to save costs. You can scan negatives with a flatbed scanner which everyone has available from public libraries, and high quality scanners can be had for 200$ easily. Cost isn't an issue with film, it's the time/workflow of getting all that done. It takes more work, and more time. But some believe it pays off.

The reason almost nobody shoots film these days is because you can emulate the look of film in post production on your raw files. And you're joking that film has a more vivid color than digital, right??? (Maybe 6 years ago when you made that statement this was true). I shot Velvia and Provia and Ektachrome for years and none of those film stocks are better than digital. I really don't know why anyone would spend the time to shoot film (print or transparency), process it, scan it into a digital file to do post production (and then print it lol) when you can just shoot a raw file and do what you want to it in post. Film is largely inferior to digital in terms of image quality: even the mighty Provia only had about 8 stops of dynamic range compared to a digital file's 10-14 stops. And you can make a raw file into a color or mono image, can't do that with film. The problem with digital as I see it is the over-reliance on resolution (more megapixels). Kodachrome had the equivalence of about 8mp of resolution compared to digital, Ektachrome maybe 10mp, Provia 10~12. Nowadays if you don't shoot at least 24mp you're a dinosaur, unworthy to hold a digital camera lol. And the more resolution a photograph has the less it looks like film. The industry has been too focused on image-quality and selling the latest greatest sharpest sensors and lenses. We as photographers should be focusing on quality images, not necessarily image-quality. Did anyone care that Saul Leiter's photograph's were not super sharp? His colors were muted too, but that was "his" look. He made timeless images. No, I'm not contradicting my first paragraph. I'm not advocating a return to color film. Film was messy and time consuming and expensive (digital "film" is cheap). Especially when you can get the look of film on a 12-20mp Canon or a 16mp Fuji SOOC. B&W film is the exception. At least with B&W you can control the entire process from exposure to developing the neg to printing. Shooting and processing B&W film is the essence of true photography IMHO. But for God's sake develop your own film, don't send it to a lab, and print the negatives in a darkroom, don't scan them into a digital file and do post production and printing on your computer. Only wankers do that. Just one old photographer's opinion.

A rich tapestry of heart and soul of a photography and the world we live in. Bravo! Lee McLaughlin

Loved the video, your thoughts and where you chose to shoot was so very interesting!!!!

For many years if you shot 35mm and wanted to sell to magazines you shot Kodachrome. Still my favorite and if my hard drive died I still had the original looking as good as ever. This was a fitting tribute to an old friend.

I don't know what it is, but there is something about slide film, especially Kodachrome, that makes it better than any painting, digital photo, hologram, 4k video, or even most C-41 film (though I love Kodak Ektar 100). Kodachrome was just amazing.

No it isn't, it's fitting. Kodachrome was a very warm film stock but not the sharpest (Ektachrome had better fidelity) and this video feels warm and nostalgic, like the film.

Since this was the last roll of Kodachrome he didn't want to "waste" any frames bracketing exposures to ensure a well exposed frame. This is done when shooting chromes (slides) all the time because of its limited exposure range. You shoot the metered exposure then one stop over and one stop under. So, for every shot taken you use three frames of film leaving you only 12 net images from a roll of 36 exposures. The use of the digital camera was used to confirm the correct exposure, that's all.

Kodachrome was an American film made by an iconic American company. That final roll ought to have celebrated American culture. Birthdays, picnics, vacations, graduations, weddings, family life, and iconic American scenics were at the heart of its place in our history. McCurry went to India. He didn’t make those last frames of Kodachrome about the film, he made them all about himself. ‘Afghan Girl’ gone wild. Look at me! Steve McCurry’s treatment of the last roll of Kodachrome film was not a tribute. It was a travesty.
