Kodachrome of the day - Man selling slides in Europe

Image
I love this Kodachrome because this photo captures something that probably doesn't exist anymore. A street vendor selling slides.  These sets contained professionally photographed pictures of all the famous places you would be most likely to visit on your vacation. The picture below is a set that the vendor most likely had for sale. Some of the photos in this set included these gems. Check out these amateur kodachromes of Rome . I think these are better than the professional ones.

Kodachrome Slide of the Day - Lady and the centipede

Image
This slide from the early 60s has Lady and the centipede written on it.  I would love to know the story behind this. Is it real? Did she find it in her food ? Why does she look so pleased at her find?  The pattern on her sleeves kinda looks bug-like to me so maybe this is a party for entomologists.
