I am now digging around for my SX-70 camera to start the whole knitting needle on image thing again. As to Kodachrome, I can't imagine bringing back that process even for fine art creative types. I suspect this is just a method to make a little money on nostalgia like the Life Magazine specials that appear every quarter or so.
