Kodak Ektachrome, Box 95, 1957
This yellow Kodak Ektachrome box has an expiration date of January 1948. Joel had developed this color film stock as B&W to experiment with the rendering of the tones and contrast. Joel always liked to experiment. We’ve discussed these negatives quite a while ago. What’s in the box ? Three subjects and some. There’s a…

I’ll discuss the intro image…
