Classic Kodachrome Shots Bringing Color to the Past
Long before every photo looked like a filtered Instagram post, there was Kodachrome, the film that made the past burst with vivid colors. Ordinary scenes from the 1960s and 70s looked sharper, bolder, and almost unreal.
Families at the park, street markets, and road trips became small adventures captured in brilliant tones. A kid holding a popsicle or a car on Main Street could make you feel like you were really there or like you missed it entirely.
From iconic pop culture moments to everyday life that now seems almost alien, Kodachrome shows that color can transform the past. Each photo tells a story worth seeing.
