Kodachrome film first hit the photography market in 1936 and on June 22, 2009, Kodak officially retired Kodachrome color transparency film after 74 years. Any photographer who ever took a picture has fond memories of this film and probably a few thousand 35mm Kodachrome slides stashed in a closet somewhere. Paul Simon immortalized Kodachrome film and the Nikon camera with this song in 1973.Lyrics to Kodachrome:When I think back on all the crap I've learned in high schoolIt's a wonder I can think at allThough my lack of education hasn't hurt me muchI can read the writings on the wallsKodachrome, they give us those nice bright colorsThey give us the greens of summersMakes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeahI got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photographSo mama don't take my Kodachrome awayIf you took all the girls I knew when I was singleBrought 'em all together for one nightI know they'd never match my sweet imaginationEverything looks worse in black and white Hide
