Requiem for print photography

This month the last 36 frames of Kodachrome film ever produced by Kodak passed through Dwayne's Photo Service in Parsons, Kan. -- the only commercial lab in the world that still developed the format. The event was commemorated on photography blogs and in some mainstream media outlets, including National Public Radio, which ran an interview Saturday with Steve McCurry, the acclaimed photojournalist who shot the roll in New York City and in Bombay and Rajasthan, India. (McCurry's best-known image is the striking 1985 National Geographic cover photo of a young, green-eyed Afghan woman -- a Kodachrome image, natch.)
