content: Series includes mainly production elements for Wechsler's documentary about the photographer Harry Callahan. An original sound recording of a 1992 panel discussion at the Museum of Modern Art (NY) with Callahan, Peter Galassi, and Douglas McGill is found, as well as an interview of Callahan conducted the following day, presumably by Judith Wechsler. Original, unedited sound reels recorded for the documentary in 1993 are also found, which contain synchronous sound (shot with picture), wild sound (shot without picture) and voiceover sound material. Brief logs of sound reels reels from 1993 link them to synchronous picture reels and briefly describe content. 

Additional production elements include work print of the MoMA panel discussion and interview, outtakes from the interview, and work print and outtakes from other components of the film. A video copy of the edited work is also found.

Additional material in the series includes a flyer describing the finished work and photographs of the filmmaker's original film containers, which were replaced with archival film cans during processing.
