In a long lost past I used to define a big city as one were Kodachrome transparency film was locally processed. And this was the case in the Vancouver I first knew when we arrived (Rosemary and two daughters) in 1975. Then Fuji Film started muscling in and Kodak was no longer the Big Yellow Father from Rochester.

Ektachrome

But it is not all that bad as we haver several film processing labs here. My fave is The Lab.

Kodachrome - Simon & Garfunkel - Lyrics

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school

It's a wonder I can think at all

And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none

I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome

They give us those nice bright colors

They give us the greens of summers

Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah

I got a Nikon camera

I love to take a photograph

So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single

And brought them all together for one night

I know they'd never match my sweet imagination

Everything looks better in black and white

Kodachrome

They give us those nice bright colors

They give us the greens of summers

Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah

I got a Nikon camera

I love to take a photograph

So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
