Kodak announced in June, 2009, that it would stop m 87 the chemicals needed to develop Kodachrome, but it continued to supply Dwayne's Photo with ine chemicals until the end of 2010 . Before the shop's machine was shut down, fans of the film had t 88 there from across the world to get theirs developed. Its employees (员工) even wore T-shirts with the epitaph (墓志铭): The best film in history is now officially r 89 , Kodachrome 1935-2010. Created inl935, Kodachrome became popular in the 1950s and 1960s for its rich tones (格调) and bright colours. But as the world turns increasingly digital, Kodachrome sales d 90 greatly and Kodak finally stopped producing Kodachrome.
Lots of famous images of the 20th century were stored on Kodachrome. For example, in 1963, a photographer used Kodachrome to film American President Kennedy's assassination (暗杀) really. The film e 91 appeared in the 1973 song Kodachrome by Paul Simon: \of summers, make you think all the world's sunny day.\Many professional photographers feel this richness is missing from modem digital images; they say Kodachrome captures (扑捉) events in a way that modern digital cameras cannot.
But for all its magic, Kodachrome has become a p 92 of memory and history. Its passing marks the end of a 75-year legend (传奇).-
