  4. Eleanor- Chicago 1948 This is a picture of Callahan’s wife Eleanor, who was his prime subject for over fifteen years. It uses light and dark contrast very well.

  7. Chicago • 1950 • Harry says- “I take pictures of life, what’s real.”

  8. Favorite Picture-Eleanor This is my favorite picture because I love how serene and simple the subject is. I also like the high contrast and shadows on the water.
