From the inspiration file.

So, I've seen a lot of great stuff hanging in museums in Kansas City and Chicago over the years, including some wonderful portraits of women. These are the works that never fail to instruct and inspire:

The Penitent Magdalen by El Greco, circa 1580-5, at the Nelson-Atkins

Madame Freret-Dericour by Joseph Siffred Duplessis, 1769, at the Nelson-Atkins

Interrupted Reading by Jean Baptiste Corot, 1870, at the Art Institute of Chicago

Untitled Film Still No 14 by Cindy Sherman, 1978, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago

Hilton Head Island, S.C., USA, June 22, 1992 by Rineke Dijkstra, 1992, at the Art Institute of Chicago

So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away...

It was a good run Kodachrome....

I feel like there should have been a photo-department event...a funeral...on site... one giant photo-class field-trip from schools everywhere.
Ha.

I wish I had made my own homage as soon as I got home...
So proud of you Kansas!
(It would be the last place to hold on.)

Kodak gave him the last roll to be made, here are some of his shots...
Later, it will be made into a documentary. Or that's the word on the street anyway...
I just like that it features both DeNiro and Elliot Erwitt...Dripping with nostalgia? Yes!

I can't wait to see Dwayne's last roll....

Wonderfully tacky and warm..

Adieu. Adios. Ciao.
