Emily

I have been photographing Emily for some time now and we both had some time available because of the Christmas/New Years holiday. This time I initiated the session.  Usually I'm harassed into it by her mother who insist the I photograph her children on a regular basis.  Usually I'm able to act disinterested until she promises enumerable rewards for doing it.  I'll eventually concede if she promises to feed us dinner.  She (Em's mother) is an amazing cook who is driven by the details of the meal. We used to alternate dining invitations until it became a contest and we finally decided to surrender to her superiority.
So, where was I?  Oh yeah, I asked Emily to help me with a project I've been preparing to market and she readily agreed. The results took on a direction that I hadn't originally intended but it was quite gratifying nonetheless.  Here, I was able to drive a 60's looking pose even further by contriving an old color slide look.  

Just to give you a range, here is a shot from the same session with Emily as her more mature self.

When will you be making protraits look like Kodachrome as that process is dead as of today?

It's only officially dead today. It's been dead for sometime now. You have to be old to appreciate Kodachrome. That means, you and me.

As far back as 15 years ago, I pressured a local supplier to arrange for overnight delivery of Kodachrome if I could muster the support for it. We held an ASMP Meeting to vote and maybe 3 out 40 people voted for it. What's Kodachrome they said?
