Kodachrome required a development process so complex that by the end only one laboratory in the world still ran it, and Kodak had stopped making the chemicals. Photographers shipped final rolls to Kansas from around the world through 2010. The very last frames were shot by Steve McCurry, who had photographed the Afghan Girl on Kodachrome in 1984.
