Kodachrome film was epic for capturing colors crisply and vibrantly- and most importantly, the pictures would not degrade over time. Pictures taken with other films start to show color degradation.

Kodachrome was a slide film, so you would typically see them using a slide viewer. Kodak stopped making the film and the chemicals to develop it in 2009. Enjoy this collection of Kodachrome images.

These children look adorable! Makes me think of those stories grandparents tell about how far they used to have to walk to get to school.

This is how my mom dressed. The outfit was referred to as "hostes wear". She made everything by hand because that's the only way to afford it. I still have one skirt like this.

It seems like Scouts are becoming extinct. Used to be a part of many children's lives. Earning those patches was a big deal

That sled! You couldn't get kids off of a video game long enough to try one out! Plus global warming is no help either?

I'm loving the fashion here. The boys look smart cas' in their grey slacks and canvas shoes and the girls are so chic. Plenty of leg on display too. What a wild bunch. I bet the 50's we're cool in the states.
