Photographs Not Taken is a collection of photographers' essays about failed attempts to make a picture. Editor Will Steacy asked each photographer to abandon the conventional tools needed to make a photograph—camera, lens, film—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 the image. This collection provides a unique and original interpretation of the experience of photographing, and allows the reader access to a world rarely encountered: the image making process itself.

Erika Larsen photographed Sara Polon, comedian turned soup entrepreneur in Washington D.C. for the April 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.
