kodachrome...

one of my favorite songs...

kodachrome by paul simon.
reminds me of a roadtrip home from pa with my dad and megan.
when i put this song on my ipod and played it-
i saw my dad's eyes light up and he sang every last word.
photography is one gift my dad gave me and that we have in common.
my parents actually met in photography school in the 80's.
so it's not a wonder i was born with a camera in my hand.

i might not shoot kodachrome these days dad- but
i do 'got a nikon camera and love to take a photograph.'

-thanks dad...

When I think back
On all the crafts I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of edu---cation
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
everything looks worse in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
