Last Roll of Kodachrome: Steve McCurry's film exposures from India

Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons, Kansas, was the last lab on the planet to process Kodachrome and stopped developing the iconic film forever. 

When Kodak stopped producing the film, they gave me the last roll. 
When I finished shooting the final frames, I hand-delivered  it to Parsons.
Steve McCurry, recognized universally as one of today's finest image-makers, is best known for his evocative color photography. In the finest documentary tradition, McCurry captures the essence of human struggle and joy.

Here are a few of those last 36 frames.
