Short Biography

The intrepid Kolb brothers – Emery and Ellsworth – moved to Arizona at the turn of the 20th century and established the Grand Canyon's first successful photography business. In 1911 they ran the Colorado River and brought back the first "motion pictures" of the Canyon the world had ever seen. For the next 75 years, the brothers produced a body of work that recorded the better part of a remarkable century.
