As I was studying how they reproduced those color postcards.

Was amazed to learn that color photography went much further back that I would have guessed. The problem of course is they were not commercially practical until Kodachrome. Sadly Kodachrome is no longer made.

Evidently it is older than I thought. As a kid, I was thrilled when my dad started buying me a few rolls of Kodachrome. Later I got a better camera and, by luck, some stunning photos with it (I usually did slides). I didn't know about camera settings until I got a DSLR and, even then, I rarely shot full manual and don't know how to calculate or the rules for it.

I doubt I'd go back to film.

I started telling you I worked for a time for Blackhawk Films, didn't know much at all about old movies, didn't need to, really. Then I did some research and see there is a wiki piece on them. It kind of took me back to see some old, familiar names.

Ektachrome? I think that was the film I liked, not sure, always Kodak though. It's awful to know a little about a lot of things and expert at nothing.
