He\u00a0draws us ever more insistently inward toward his own private sensibility.\u00a0He photographed his wife and daughter, the streets and buildings of cities where he lived, showing a strong sense of line and form, and light and darkness. He also worked with\u00a0multiple exposures. He photographed everywhere &#8211; at home, in the streets, in the landscape; alone, with their daughter, with Eleanor, in black and white and in color, distant and close. He tried several technical experiments &#8211; double and triple exposure, blurs, large and small format film.\u00a0Callahan retired in 1977, at which time he was teaching at the\u00a0Rhode Island School of Design. When he died in 1999 he\u00a0left behind 100,000 negatives and over 10,000 proof prints.<\/p>\n<p id=\"description\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>De<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><strong>scription:<\/strong> <span class=\"first3words\">SIGNED BY HARRY CALLAHAN <\/span>on the half title page.
