Without a Camera

I’m not often without a camera.  I actually have one with me; but since I started shooting film I forget all the little things needed to make sure you can shoot digital.  In that spirit I forgot to bring a memory card so I’m seeing all these photos I can’t take.  I would write them down but Michael David Murphy (whom i am a big fan of from afar) has already cornered that market.  I wanted to give him his props for it in case someone hadn’t seen it - he has a site called Unphotographable it’s really a brilliant concept; a text account of all the photos he has not taken.  It reminds me of the Poem by Heather McHugh titled”What He Thought”; click the link to hear her read it as she brings an understanding to her work through her reading aloud.
