The precision of hisskill places his work beyond the tentative and the experimental stage. He is continually searching and exploring both himself and his surroundings. and in this exploration of the realm of places, people and things, contrasts and relationships, Callahan is no respecter of conventional technical formula or code. His delicate sense of pattern is an integral part of his photography and not a thing by itself.

A good daguerreotype was as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made.

The boy and girl going hand in hand through a meadow; the mother washing her baby; the sweet simple things in life. We have almost lost track of them.

Every photograph is a fake from start to finish.

Every ten years a man should give himself a good kick in the pants.

When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
