Photography Pioneers: Kolb Brothers, Grand Canyon Photo Sessions Between Heaven and Hell

Leak in the boat: Both Emery's boat "Edith" and Ellsworth "Defiance" did not survive the trip through the Grand Canyon without damages. Again and again, the brothers had to repair their wooden boats. With 101 days the trip took much longer than initially planned. This photo is taken by Hubert Lauzon, the later companion of the brothers. | Grand Canyon National Park / Kolb Brothers
