Harry Callahan Part 1

I admire the diversity of Harry Callahan's photography. He worked in more stylistic areas than anyone I can think of. He may be the closest that photography has come to producing someone equivalent to Picasso. He moved back and forth between a wide variety of cameras and lenses, color and black and white, straight photographs and altered photographs.

First his series of his wife Eleanor

5 photographs in 5 years in Chicago. Each of the same subject in styles so diverse it could be 5 different photographers.
