Cape Cod 1972

"Cape Cod" (1972) by Harry Callahan is a striking black and white photograph that captures the essence of a beach scene. The image features a long, sweeping view of a sandy beach, with the vast expanse of the ocean stretching out in the distance. The diagonal line of a shadow cast by a building cuts through the beach, creating a dynamic composition. Callahan's masterful use of light and shadow, a hallmark of his style, emphasizes the geometric forms and patterns found in the natural world. The photograph invites viewers to consider the relationship between human activity and the vastness of nature.
