In may 2010 I learnt that Kodak were going to stop making the chemicals to process Kodachrome, the last lab would therefore have to stop processing in Dec'10.

I sent a roll of Kodachrome to Flickr Photographers who lived near the dissused labs and asked them to take a photo.

The packet that came with the film had addresses of labs & P.O boxes to which you sent your film to be processed, over the years Kodak had shut the labs but you still could send your film to the address in Switzerland and Kodak would then send it to Dwayne's Lab.

I messaged Flickr film users that lived near the addresses on the packet and asked if they would like to help me with my project. I then sent the keen ones a roll of Kodachrome and asked them to take a couple of photos of the address, they could use the rest of the roll as they wished.

The photographer in Hawaii was such a fan of Kodachrome, she had named her dog after it.

The photographers sent the exposed rolls to Switzerland and I received the slides from Dwayne's, keeping the slides of the addresses and returning the others. (This process in some cases took longer than expected and a couple of rolls missed the dec'10 deadline for processing and were developed as B&W, resulting in orange/black images. The roll from Mexico was late and blank).

The photographs were printed as Cibachromes, just before the last photo lab printing them shut as ilford stopped producing the chemicals.
