Photographs not taken

Remarkable compilation of essays that cover artists' life journeys and confrontations with the moments that got away. They range from the ethics or morals that stops them (“should there be limits on what is released into the public?”), some - about facing the loss (both real and “loss” of a picture) (“And usually the feeling of loss is lost into a memory and all is A-OK”). How to accept it and make peace, allowing this experience to shape you. And even political environment (“What started as a story ... of a village in remotistan has once again become a story about Russian paranoia and xenophobia.”).
The vivid language of authors allows you to recreate the images in your mind and to enjoy their thinking process. Makes you understand and they can very much handle the pen as well as the heavy machinery.
Overall, some are fun, some deeply touching. But they do resonate with you.

The image from that moment is one of my personal favorites, but for thisone my eyes were the camera, and my memory is the print.
