“Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure. If a man or a woman wishes to express themselves photographically, they must understand surely to a certain extent, their relationship to life. I am interested in relating the problems that affect me to some set of values that I am trying to discover and establish as being my life. I want to discover them through photography”

~ Harry Callahan

Harry was always re-inventing himself, switching subject matter and locale to keep his deep concerns fresh and potent. He was always intrigued by the psyche of the human condition be it in private or in public. He often just wandered into the city streets to explore this theme and gave us deep insights into it which are universal.
