Providence 1965 - 1968

"Providence" is a black and white photograph taken by Harry Callahan in 1965-1968. This street scene captures the urban landscape with a sharp focus on the details, emphasizing the shadows and reflections created by the light. Callahan's signature style is evident in the composition, which uses a strong diagonal line to draw the viewer's eye through the frame. The image features a man walking away from the camera, while a woman walks in the opposite direction. This use of figures in the background gives the image a sense of anonymity and solitude, reflecting the urban experience in the mid-20th century.
