Unphotographable is a website by Michael David Murphy, described as “a text account of pictures missed”.

My own missed moment yesterday: Two men emerging from the woods, dressed entirely in camouflage, carrying semi-automatic rifles. I have not taken many portraits in the past, but it would have been the perfect time to start. My only hope is that they spend a lot of time in those woods, and I’ll be able to find them again sometime.

UPDATE: In the comments, Blake mentions The Photographs Not Taken, a collaborative project with a similar theme. And Camden mentions that Unphotographable is also available on Twitter, in a slightly different form.

One more site, slightly different but related, is Air Camera, from Justin James Reed. For the record, my air camera is an 8×10, but it weighs nothing and the film and developing are free.

** It turned out they were paintball guns, but how was I supposed to know that at the time? **
