For every award winning photo that a photographer takes, there are hundreds of other photos of that exact event, the minutes leading up to the event, and the minutes immediately after the event. A photographer will shoot a roll of film, and the remaining photos, deemed "not quite so good," are put away forever in what photo houses and newspapers call the "morgue." These are the "second-best" images, and the images that did not quite make the light of day because, although they were good, they were not quite good enough.
Perhaps, instead of getting Corbis's best shots, we should try to liberate the second-best ones--the ones in the morgue that aren't quite as famous but could serve our ends as well.

But where would these photos end up?
