Essays on Missed Photographic Opportunites


Should I or shouldn't I? Has your heart sunk over the the thought of a missed photograph? You are not alone. Will Steacy is running a blog called The Photographs Not Taken, which collects personal stories from photographers their lost opportunities of what they thought would have made an excellent photograph.

From Will Steacy:

I have asked each photographer to abandon the familiar tools needed to make a photograph, camera, lens, film, all digital equivalents, etc, and now make a "photograph" with another set of tools: the memories, experiences and poetry of the world that didn't go through the lens, the negative photographs, the anti-photographs, the photographs not taken with a camera but with the heart and mind.
