My sentiments exactly Andrew. I too have numerous Kodachromes of
myself and my sisters taken by my father almost 50 years ago with an old
Spartus camera. The Kodachromes are as good as the ones I took last month of
my own children. I just hope they have a projector 50 years from now with
which to view them.
This leads into a similar topic that I'm sure has been
discussed..that is the demise of the "lost and found" box of photos/slides
discovered in the attic/basement/old desk left there by dad/grandma/crazy
Uncle Harry. I hope in 50 years my grandkids may find some old
harddrive/floppy/DVD laying around in the attic with a treasure trove of
jpeg's.....NAHHHH.

I have a 40-year-old Kodachrome of me as a kid - it looks great.
I'm taking some of my daughter (when she lets me) so she can see herself as
a six-year-old when she's 46. They'll probably still be OK when she's 86. I
think good childhood portraits that reveal the person are a great gift when
you're older.
