I have been a reader here for some 6 months and have enjoyed looking at all the photos. This has caused a question in my mind. Short of booking a seat on the next space capsule flight, is there anything that has not been photographed before?

I think you missed a nuance...
Light is ever changing. So if you were to photograph something, you'd only capture that moment.
Because as the light changes, so would what is captured.
Thinking in the infinite...

I also do not believe anyone has photographed everything. So there is probably a lot of things never photographed.
People trample flowers to take a picture of the hill or field of flowers.

You remind me of an Ultrasound of our last Grand Child.
The goal was to see about genitalia.

Our Daughter in Law got a kick out of my blushing at the snap-shot of Ava Grace with her bottom pointed right in the "lens".

"Uhh, yeah... that's a GIRL!"

Of course now, at nearing 20 months, she is Papa's girl.

My son is a radiology tech, so his job is along the same lines, but broken bones, etc. He works a lot in the ER at Parkland.

To add to this thought, every moment on this earth is unique. The light, wind temperature all change dynamically and continuously. So, unless there is a constant "video" or photo sequence of every landscape and macro scene in creation. Ans as far as subjects go, yes many have been photographed, but surely nowhere nearly as many by YOU with your eye/composition/ lighting and choices of focal length, exposure, white Balance and cropping and PP with your favorite techniques and tools.

One of my favorite books is John Sexton's of Ansel Adams's photos re-shot from the exact locations. And sure 'nuff, they look WAY different! Because of the materials. equipment, color and, of course, the "artful dodger's POST processing. ANd I'm sure if that was re-visited with today's modern Digital Tools, these same already photographed scenes would look, quite again, WAY different.

So, while it's an interesting thought, the better question from MY point of view is "what hasn't been photographed by ME---LATELY." That's a creative way to look at it.

And as far as people, there isn't a burst mode fast enough to keep up with the many changes in position, breathing, eye movement, expression of even tho most sedentary model. So, keep sitng the difference, newness and nuances that make our art form challenging and satisfying. This is what making pictures vs. capturing pictures is all about.

Instead of searching for something new to photograph, seek out an entirely unique and different perspective of the old.
