"“This marvellous meditation on memory and seeing asks us, with a rare power, to take nothing for granted.” —Amit Chaudhuri ""In this astute, stealthily devastating book, writer and photographer Benjamin Swett beautifully conveys not only what he sees through the iris of the camera lens, but the complex, infinite imperatives of the biosphere outside the frame. A subtle re-imagining of the possibilities of the American essay, The Picture Not Taken is a haunting meditation on the visible world and the cast shadow of tragedy."" —Cynthia Zarin “Serious photography is an art. The ‘taken’ tells on the ‘taker.’ Beautifully written, Benjamin Swett’s The Picture Not Taken shows how an awareness becomes a passion, and that passion a calling. His avid eye reorganizes our attention, elevates the incidental, and fastens on the details that replenish the world around us."" —Sven Birkerts"
