With the final roll of Kodachrome film developed in Kansas on Thursday, the widely-lauded quality color film has become a history.
上月29日,美国堪萨斯州的这个名叫杜威恩的小型家庭摄影公司,冲洗晒印出了全世界最后一卷柯达克罗姆(kodachrome)胶卷。

Created in 1935, Kodachrome film is renowned for its exceptional rendering of colour, vivid images and archival longevity. For many years, it was the preferred brand for print media.
诞生于1935年的柯达彩色胶卷以其优异的显色性、生动的成像以及归档寿命闻名于世。许多年来,它都是平面媒体的优先选择。

However, it is difficult to process, requiring expert handlers, and Dwayne's Photo in Kansas is the sole remaining developer. In 2009, Kodak announced it was discontinuing the iconic film after competition from digital cameras caused a large sales decline.
作为柯达推出的首款彩色胶卷,柯达克罗姆不仅横扫全球市场,更是记录了一个又一个标志性的历史事件。但即便是这样具有划时代意义的胶卷,也难抵数码产品的蚕食而走向“夕阳”。早在2009年6月,柯达公司就宣布停止生产柯达克罗姆胶片,其主要的原因便是市场需求量的下降及制造和冲洗这种胶片所需要的高成本。

The last roll was shot by National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry, who shot the 36 exposures in New York, Kansas and as far as India. Then he hand-delivered the last roll to Dwayne's Photo earlier this year.
最后一卷胶卷由《国家地理》杂志摄影师史蒂夫•麦克里使用,他在纽约、堪萨斯、印度共拍摄了36张照片,随后交给了杜威恩摄影公司。
