📚 Twentieth-Century Color Photographs - Identification and Care
I recently stumbled upon this book by Sylvie Pénichon, and it is a wonderful deep dive into the history and care of color photographs. The appendix includes a chronology of several film types, including Kodachrome and Ektachrome films, Polaroid-Kodak-Fuji instant films, and more. It also has sheet notch codes, which are really nice. Just a great resource.

Want to read: Everything Is Photograph by Patricia Albers 📚
Want to read: Everything Is Photograph by Patricia Albers 📚 I don’t usually post about books in the queue, but I just found this one, and wanted any other photographers interested to see it.
