My last five rolls came back from Dwayne's Saturday.

I thought I'd use up my last exposure on Kodachrome with a picture of part 
of my film collection.  Got this this Kodak camera store fixture in 1998 
when a local dealer,  Reimer's Photo, closed after 120 years.  It's in my 
basement, so I had to use flash, with the shutter on "B" (I didn't have a 
long PC cord).  I thought I had held the flash high enough to avoid 
reflections, but obviously not, and there was no second chance.  The $9.99 
is a plastic sign from a department store that closed - it's the same Kodak 
yellow.

 I thought I would have a tough time letting go of Kodachrome, but nah, I'm 
moving on.  I'm going to take a better shot with my 30D to show the film 
names more clearly.
