Paging Paul Simon

The Associated Press: Is the rich-hued Kodachrome era fading to black?: "ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — It is an elaborately crafted photographic film, extolled for its sharpness, vivid colors and archival durability. Yet die-hard fan Alex Webb is convinced the digital age soon will take his Kodachrome away.

'Part of me feels like, boy, if only I'd been born 20 years earlier,' says the 56-year-old photographer, whose work has appeared in National Geographic magazine. 'I wish they would keep making it forever. I still have a lot of pictures to take in my life.'"
