Photographer Steve McCurry
developed 36 slides on Monday at Dwayne's Photo Service, which is the
only photo lab left in the world that can process Kodachrome.
Kodak
announced last year that it would retire Kodachrome, a
color reversal film it has manufactured since 1935. Two executives with
National Geographic
joined McCurry in Parsons because the organization is following the
journey of the final Kodachrome roll.
The Parsons Sun reports that
McCurry used the last roll to shoot scenes around New York
,
but the last three frames were shot in Parsons.
Dwayne's vice president Grant
Steinle says the company will end its processing of Kodachrome on Dec.
10.
