Photographs Not Taken is a collection of photographersrsquo; essays about failed attempts to make a picture. Editor Will Steacy asked each photographer to abandon the conventional tools needed to make a photographmdash;camera; lens; filmmdash;and instead make a photograph using words; to capture the image (and its attendant memories) that never made it through the lens. In each essay; the photograph has been stripped down to its barest and most primitive form: the idea behind it. This collection provides a unique and original interpretation of the experience of photographing; and allows the reader into a world rarely seen: the image making process itself.
