Ektachrome

I remember the first time I saw an Ektachrome print in my color photography textbook. I noticed a little difference and I couldn't put my finger on it at the time. Later when I actually had the opportunity to see an Ektachrome chrome transparency projected, I then understood what the deal was. The color, saturation....the luminosity. The whole package. I was maybe 18 years old at the time and I went out and shot my first roll of transparency film.

To this day nothing is more satisfying than exposing a piece of transparency film, having it processed and then getting the whole piece of film with all of its saturation and texture in my hands. Tangibility.

I never actually shot a roll Ektachrome even in the early 90s labs were starting to not carry it much less process it. Back then if you shot a roll of 36 and got one frame you where doing really good, plus it just seemed over-the-top. I will miss seeing new images exposed on Ektachrome film. And I still feel so lucky be part of the photographic evolution.
