This is SO interesting! I have been finding old color negatives of subjects that I have photographed. I no longer have a darkroom to make color prints, so when I see something interesting, I use a special close up lens to make a close copy of just one frame. Then I import the copy of the negative into my photo archive. So tonight I was looking for something else and saw this negative. I remember photographing this husband and wife couple, but I could not for the life of me remember who they are! So I exported the negative into Photoshop and then use the "invert" function in Photoshop to reverse the tones in the image, and then I correct that image for color balance. And here is what i got...
So then, still not knowing who they were, I used "google images" and uploaded this photograph to Google and it knew who they were right away! Here are the results of the search: "The image shows Italian designers and architects Lella and Massimo Vignelli posing in their studio alongside a modern white sculptural model. The Subjects Lella and Massimo Vignelli were an influential husband-and-wife tandem in the fields of graphic and industrial design, known for iconic works such as the New York City Subway map, the Stendig Calendar, and corporate identity systems for American Airlines and Ford." Man oh man, how cool is that!
