Smoke ‘Em If You’ve Got ‘Em

In this blurb on Yahoo, it looks like Steve McCurry was given the last roll of Kodachrome. Since he’s a personal favorite, I’ll be looking forward to seeing the documentary that will cover this.

If you have any Kodachrome, feel free to send it to me. If you haven’t shot it yet or if you have any that needs to be developed, it must be at Dwayne’s Photo by noon on December 30th, 2010 if you want the chance to have it developed. Dwayne’s is the LAST lab remaining that can develop this film. So, as I said above, Smoke ‘Em If You’ve Got ‘Em. Be sure you shoot and have it developed. This is the end of a great era in photography. Too bad nobody will make the economics work.

How to keep your film and camera gear cool when left in the car

This time of the year, it’s hot where I live. If you’re going to take your camera gear on vacation with you or leave it in the car while you go to work, you’ll want to protect it.

Put a cooler with the camera and the film in the trunk of the car not the front. The trunk doesn’t heat up very much compared to the front of the car. You can minimize that heating by opening the windows in the front some to let heat out. If you want to use a cooling pack in the cooler, you can keep it from chilling as much by putting a layer of towels over the cool packs below the camera gear. There will still be a cooling effect. Play around with it. I’ve gone on many vacations with the camera and film in the trunk. No problems. Just don’t chill the camera so much that you get condensation.

The camera isn’t as available this way as if you have it up front with you while driving, but it’ll be ready to go and nobody knows it’s there.

Oh, yeah, try to park the car in the shade as much as possible. I’ve never had a problem though.
