More Information

Seen without people, urban architecture provides Callahan with marvelously abastract copmpositions. A grid of windows becomes a vibrating pattern with the use of multiple exposures in this work. Through his lens we are led to recognize the beauty that can be found in the repetative forms of ordinary architecture.
