	Harry Callahan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harry Morey Callahan (October 22, 1912– March 15, 1999) was an American photographer who is considered one of the great innovators of modern American photography.
		Callahan retired in 1977, at which time he was teaching at the Rhode Island School of Design.
		Callahan illustrated the centrality of Eleanor in his life by his continual return to her over 15 years as his prime subject -- she was subject more than model -- but the images are not about who she was, what she did, what she thought as an individual.

	Dirty Harry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dirty Harry is a 1971 film directed by Don Siegel and starring Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan, a San Francisco detective tracking Scorpio, a serial killer.
		Eastwood's character also helped popularize (and to a degree, sensationalize) the.44 magnum, as Harry Callahan is famously shown wielding his SandW Model 29 revolver.
		The final scene where Harry throws his badge in the river is a homage to a similar scene from 1952's High Noon.

	artnet.com Magazine Features - Mornings with Harry Callahan
		Harry Callahan (1912-1999) made his reputation with fl and white photographs, which he developed and printed himself.
		Nine Cibachromes of Chicago storefronts, which Callahan took in 1954-55 and approved for printing in the late '90s, are on exhibition at the Carol Ehlers Gallery, Chicago, until Apr. 14, 2001.
		Callahan liked to work early in the morning and the cool, even light we see in the storefront photographs suggests that they were taken at that time of day, probably in autumn of 1954 and spring of 1955.

	PSA Journal: In defense of camera clubs and PSA: a look at the work of Harry Callahan - Photographic Society of America
		Harry Callahan is considered to be one of the most accomplished and influential American photographers.
		Callahan was the son of a midwestern farmer who moved to Detroit to find work in the automobile factories.
		Callahan strongly objected to camera clubs' "highly manipulated images." Yet his own photographs involving multiple exposures, reflections, neon lights, camera movement during exposure and other "different" techniques are all "manipulated" photography -- not to mention the usual manipulations that take place in the darkroom.

		Early on, Harry Callahan said: "A picture is like a prayer; you're offering a prayer to get something, and in a sense it's like a gift of God because you have practically no control-- at least I don't." In a photograph by Todd Webb (1945) Harry looks very monkish.
		Harry also said that after he'd encountered Ansel Adams at a workshop in Detroit in 1941 he realized there were no mountains in Michigan, so he would have to look very hard at the ground under his feet.
		Time for Harry Callahan to change his garments, stick a 35mm camera and a 4 x 5 view camera into his knapsack, master Japanese on the jet from Atlanta, bow to the Master, and call himself Sora.

		Harry Callahan had his first one-person exhibition almost fifty years ago.
		With unwavering conviction, Callahan, from almost the very beginning of his career, has insisted that his work is his life and that he wanted to tell the history of his life through his photographs.
		By presenting Callahan's photographs in chronological order, this catalogue and the exhibition it accompanies seek to describe the growth of that instinctive visual life, showing its genesis in Detroit in the early 1940s, its flowering in Chicago in the late 1940s and 1950s, and its maturation in Providence and Atlanta in the years thereafter.

		A moment later after Harry delivers his famous lines, the shotgun is only a few inches away from the robber's hand, making it clear why the robber was tempted to go for the weapon.
		The second comes near the end when Harry finally has his culprit cornered, and all the rage and fury is revealed, which made me want to cheer even though I was watching it by myself.
		In this first installment of the "Callahan" movies, Harry is brought on the case of the zodiac killer (Andrew Robinson), and is given a new partner, which Harry can't stand, and as the events unfold he knows he has to get him.

	Harry Callahan
		Harry Callahan (1912–1999) was one of the most influential photographic artists of the twentieth century.
		Exploring the rich contents of the Harry Callahan Archive at the Center for Creative Photography, the authors look at how Callahan’s choice of subjects and visual ideas emerged from deliberate and improvisational processes, and how such processes might be revealed with archival materials such as negatives, transparencies, proof prints, sequential ordering, and variant printings.
		This close investigation of Callahan’s individual and experimental approach to materials in turn leads to a larger consideration of his relationship to seemingly contradictory strains in American visual culture of the twentieth century.
