Click on the audio play button to listen to this bed time story read by Eve Schaub… but first be sure to get a glass of warm milk. Today is the last day to get Kodachrome processed.

Goodnight Kodachrome

In the big yellow room

There was a camera

and a classic film

and a picture of Paul Simon jumping over the moon.

Goodnight Kodachrome

Goodnight moon

Goodnight slide show in the living room

Goodnight 25

Goodnight 64

Goodnight dynamic range eight stops more

Goodnight Dwayne’s

Goodnight flare

Goodnight little Afghan girl’s haunting stare

Goodnight mail order

Goodnight rush

And goodnight to Steve McCurry whispering “hush”

Goodnight plastic carousel

Goodnight transparencies rare

Goodnight glorious old color film… everywhere.

–”Goodnight Moon,” original text by Margaret Wise Brown
