Eleanor by Harry Callahan


Eleanor

Harry Callahan spent a lot of his time photographing is wife Eleanor.  She was an essential part to his work.  He photographed he regardless of where they were, at home, in the streets, by herself, with there daughter, in color and lack of color, clothed and nude and he was always trying a new technical way to photograph her.  Double and triple exposures and played with the focus.
Eleanor (the picture above) is a picture that my teacher showed on one of the first days of class.  It was very rememberable picture because of the rules that were broke to make this picture the way it is.  We were talking about how to properly expose our pictures and talked later about bracketing to see how different the picture looks.
