“Not just because they’re freak-show legal casinos, spectacles where the Über-ultrarich can act out as profligately in public as possible, trying to buy immortality, become a part of art history, make headlines, and create profit. … I hate them for what they do to art, for the bad magic of making mysterious powerful things turn into numbers.” — Jerry Saltz

Kodak spokeswoman adds: "We’ve reviewed our portfolio and we told our partners that we would discontinue these three slide films. What we have constantly told everyone is that we will continue to make film as long as there’s profitable demand. But, in the case of slide films, the decline has been pretty acute, and in addition to that, the complexity of the formulation and manufacturing of these films made it that we could no longer sustain them."

She adds: "This doesn’t affect our Portra films, our Ektar and black-and-white films."
