Kodachrome

Au Co the Lotus Warrior of Vietnam is captured by photographer Adam Voghell in Lester’s last centerfold to be shot on the now discontinued film.

For 74 years, Kodachrome captured the poetry of colour in some of the most famous photographs in the world, and probably some of the photos in your old family albums, too. Alas, due to the advent of the digital revolution, Kodak made the decision to discontinue the iconic film stock in 2009.

Au Co, our beautiful lotus of the jungle, was photographed by Adam Voghell in 2009 using the legendary Kodachrome. We present these photos as a tribute to Kodachrome, with remorse for the loss of yet another landmark of the good old days.
