A few shots from my Kodachrome project

Phil Coomes | 13:41 UK time, Friday, 9 July 2010

As the summer progresses and time runs out on my Kodachrome project which began back in October I thought I'd update you a little on its progress.

For those of you who are new to this blog then the project is a simple one. I set out to mark the passing of Kodachrome, a film that has been around for 75 years and to which much of the representation of the past is entrusted.

My goal is to publish a picture everyday on Flickr over a period of 64 weeks, ending on 31 December this year. The only version of the film available now is the 64 ISO one, hence the number of weeks in the project.

The winter months were tough as I've got used to the high ISO's that are available to digital photographers but the summer sun helps to lift spirits. The project has no theme, just simple scenes stumbled upon in the course of a day, nothing is set up, and these are snaps in the true sense of the word.

You can follow the project on or via the .

If you are shooting any Kodachrome or digitizing old rolls then do get in touch.

A colleague of mine suggested that we run a final frame gallery. So when you've shot your final roll of Kodachrome () scan the final frame and email to me with a few words about the shot and I'll run some of them in this blog.

I'll mention this again nearer the time but do keep it in mind.
