Taken sometime in the 1970's, with an MX and 135mm lens on Koachrome.

Mama, don't tale my Kodachrome away!!

Nice shot Dana! I'm amazed that the reds have stayed vibrant for 30 years or so! A lot of old slides I've seen from this period have lost significant color depth, especially in the reds.
That almost looks like an old wurlitzer juke box behind the Christmas ornaments. Was it?

My first impression was that it was a jukebox too. I like it! It has party time written all over it.

Jukebox? Yeah add me to that list of people who is thinking that way too! Where's the party? Great shot!

Thanks for the comments!

Kodachrome is actually three levels of black and white emulsion. That's why it is so difficult to process, but it is archival.

Sometimes I wish they'd make 120 Kodchrome again so we could archive our digital images with a slide printer!

It was actually a part of the food section of a shopping mall. It caught my eye because it's so over the top!
