When the news hit back in June that Kodak would discontinue its Kodachrome film, dark room enthusiasts everywhere were crushed. One photojournalist is bidding adieu  to this iconic film with the help of a 64-week online project.

 Phil Coomes explains that he has long admired those ambitious few who take on the photo a day projects. When he heard about the demise of Kodachrome, he dug out some old 64 film he had in the closet and started shooting.

His goal is to post one photo a day to his Flickr stream for 64 weeks. For obvious reasons, he will be unable to shoot a picture and then post it the same day. With that in mind he has decided not to post the photos in the order he took them. Instead he is arranging them into a series in style of William Eggleston's Democratic Forest.

You can follow along with Phil's photographic journey here. Have you embarked on any photo projects lately? If so, I would love to hear about them and maybe share them with the rest of the Amvonaverse. Shoot me an email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
