I believe that place discontinued in Dec 09 doing Kodachrome. -- Nope just
checked -- Dwayne's right? -- they discontinued selling it, last roll or
whatever. Presumably they still process it.

Anyway on my monitor the pic has mucho blue fringing around the trees and
too much blue in general and her skin is -- a the same time, and
contradictorily -- too warm and saturated in color, so that the total effect
is as if she'd been pasted on over the older un-red photo.  That's my
monitor.

It's a great picture though, beneath these difficulties. I love her boots
and jeans.
