Each issue of National Geographic Magazine contains a few dozen of the stunning original photos that have become its trademark. But to get these, thousands are considered and rejected. Now people can see a few of the also-rans.
A special issue of the magazine, "National Geographic 100 Best Unpublished Pictures," is on sale on newsstands. "We asked photographers to go back through their work and find the frames they wish we'd been able to fit into the original article," said National Geographic editor Bill Allen. "It became a labor of love." Along with the photos are captions containing the story behind the photo from the photographers themselves.
The reasons a picture didn't make the magazine varies. Some stories are dropped and some pictures loved by photographers are not the choice of editors.
One photo shows a young couple relaxing on their bed in a shack in Louisiana. It was scheduled to lead a 1973 article until the editor discovered the couple wasn't married. "I guess it was the times. He didn't want an unmarried couple sitting there in bed," writes photographer C. C. Lockwood.
