The George Eastman Museum is located in Rochester, New York, on the estate of George Eastman, the pioneer of popular photography and motion picture film. Founded in 1947 as an independent nonprofit institution, it is the world’s oldest photography museum and one of the oldest film archives. The museum holds unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects—in the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, and photographically illustrated books. The institution is also a longtime leader in film preservation and photographic conservation. There is always something new and different to engage, educate, or entertain you at the Eastman Museum:

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Photo Kaleidoscope (award any 2 photos from the pool), and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Nathalie Boisard-Beudin said:
    That is a wonderful shot. I do not quite understand why this picture (and the rest of this collection) is indicated as having no known copyright restrictions when the author is still alive (and hopefully still taking pictures).
  • Alison Nordström said:
    The artist gave the copyright to George Eastman House when he donated his photographs. We've chosen not to restrict their use on Flickr.
  • BigBean said:

    "Louis Jean Lumière (1864 - 1948), and his brother Auguste Lumière were among the earliest filmmakers. (Appropriately, "lumière" translates as "light" in English.) "Their father, Charles Antoine Lumière (1840-1911), ran a photographic firm and both brothers worked for him: Louis as a physicist and Auguste as a manager. Louis had made some improvements to the still-photograph process, the most notable being the dry-plate process, which was a major step towards moving images." -- Wikipedia
