Dwayne's Photo is a film processing facility in Parsons, Kansas founded in 1956. It was the last Kodak certified Kodachrome processing facility in the world, until the line was shut down on December 30, 2010 due to lack of developing chemicals.[2][3][4]

History

The company was founded in 1956 by Dwayne Steinle as a small film processing facility, but it quickly moved on to become one of the leading photo processors in the United States. After 8 mm film and its successor Super 8 both saw a rapid decline in the 80s, most facilities closed down, while Dwayne's Photo remained in service. They are one of the few labs still offering processing for a variety of film types that are no longer manufactured, such as 126 film.[1]

Dwayne's Photo announced[5] that they would continue processing Kodachrome through the end of December 2010 and that their supply of Kodachrome film had run out. The end of professional processing will signal the end of the Kodachrome era. On July 14, 2010 it was announced[6] that the last produced roll of Kodachrome was developed for Steve McCurry. The 36 slides will make their way to their permanent home at the Eastman House in Rochester, NY. The last roll of Kodachrome film to be developed was shot by owner Dwayne Steinle with the last exposed frame being a group shot of the Dwayne's Photo employees.[7]
