you can get an image if you process kodachrome as black and white.

it ruins your chemicals though because kodachrome has a thick black goopy rem jet backing that will come off in your first bath (for this reason i always make sur to use a prebath of water before putting kodachrome into my developer - the the black goopy bits still get into all of the other chemicals). it results in a kind of sepia look.

but it's kind of a waste of kodachrome since the whole point is the bright colors... but who knows, in a few years, it may be the only option left for kodachrome. ~sigh~ here's hoping not.
