“Everything Looks Better in Back and White”

So go the lyrics in most versions of Paul Simon’s song Kodachrome. Sad to say that the last roll of Kodachrome has been shot, developed and printed. We will all have to face the task of explaining to our grandchildren what Kodachrome and, indeed, what film, was.

However, not everything looks better in black and white.

About Marty Luster

I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.

    FYI– The correct lyric from “Kodachrome” is, “Everything looks worse in black and white.”

    According to Wikipedia (the source of all knowledge):
    The lyrics on There Goes Rhymin’ Simon differed in wording from those on the The Concert in Central Park and Paul Simon’s Concert in the Park, August 15, 1991 albums. The former said, “…everything looks worse in black and white,” but the latter said, “…everything looks better in black and white.”
