Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words):

These two brothers led a very interesting life. They did not just go into one industry and stay there they went from film movies to color photos to making their own process and later to merge with one of the biggest photo and film companies still around to this day. Their work has a very old and soothing look to it.
