The last roll of Kodachrome has been processed.
The last lab left to develop the popular slide film can no longer do so due to the chemicals required are no longer available.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/30/us...?_r=1&emc=eta1As news media around the world have heralded Thursday’s end of an era, rolls of the discontinued film that had been hoarded in freezers and tucked away in closets, sometimes for decades, have flooded Dwayne’s Photo, arriving from six continents.
When I was shooting film, it was pretty much exclusively Kodachrome 25. I think I only have one or two images printed and scanned over the years. Here is one of my favorites.

As I recall, it was the last shot on a roll that was taken before a friend and I went off to look for other things to photograph. A polarizing filter was used to darken the sky. That image is close to 40 years old. I think houses were built in that field about 15 years ago.
Things change all the time, take pictures before they do.
