Kodachrome
* no not Paul Simon...
Well they finally took our Kodachrome away.
A muthalode of historical examples here, some breathtakingly gorgeous. There must be some great NZ examples waiting to be literally brought to light. -

Joe, your inaccurate and insulting portrayal of what actually appeared in my posts undermines your supposedly 'righteous indignation'.
Righteous indignation has nothing to do with it. I don't take an interest in these things as a means of cultivating some kind of imagined sense of moral superiority. Like most people I recognise how indulging casually racist attitudes degrades everyone.
It's a pity that you feel insulted, but it's nothing to what The Aucklander has recently dished out to its readers.

Kodachrome colour is pretty resilient.
Thanks for those, very nice.
The late great Kodachrome can be about as close as it gets to time travel (click on image for hi-res 1949). -

Yes, Joe, just like a Springboks tour cures all but the most obdurate and intentional racism.
A bit of constructive historical opposition seems to have borne fruit. Unlike 1981, I don't recall the team who were here for the RWC providing a rallying point for the kind of white supremacist nonsense that you appear to be at pains to empathise with.

My reading of that Casey quote is that she is summarising the Grey Power take-home message: it's not her position.
Not my intention to mock Ms Casey, ambiguous quoting = my bad.
BTW have we had the line about migrants living in grottoes yet? It was all the go with Australian talkback callers during the Pauline Hanson beatup. Very picturesque, but sadly didn't happen.

Umm, yeah. They're his photos. ;-)
Right. In similar vein, or inspired by. It was a pretty seminal series back then, about the time he started Rip It Up.

Flash as 70s cars
That great NZ photographer Murray Cammick. Would love to see those again.

There is a follow-up story in this weeks Aucklander.
Mr Rayner said he was surprised by Ms Casey's attitude. "Maybe it's because she's Irish and fairly new ... I just don't know."
Ms Casey hit back saying she was Scottish, not Irish, and had lived in New Zealand for 25 years. "This is not about my migrant status, it's about telling Asians they're not wanted."
Those wacky oldsters, you just gotta empathise :-)

I've seen a 70s-vintage souvenir lamp in the form of St Peters in Rome, with transparencies of past popes in the windows. The scale was rather smaller, and the level of detail was pretty woeful compared to the Barbadoes St basilica-within-a-basilica.
