Photography Pioneers: Kolb Brothers, Grand Canyon Photo Sessions Between Heaven and Hell
Vertigo taboo: The brothers Emery (bottom) and Ellsworth Kolb were frequently photographed in this pose. It became their hallmark after they put their lives at risk to secure an appropriate image of the Grand Canyon. They used the image on billboards and in their souvenir books. The picture was taken in 1904 and shows Emery attempting to capture an eagle's nest on glass plate. | Grand Canyon National Park / Kolb Brothers
