The absence of Mr. Slater was a collaboration with another photographer/designer Peter de Kan.

An extract from the preface by Hans Aarsman:
... With his first attempt to take pictures, the world seemed quite small through the view finder. Great, so at least everything would fit in the picture. The red button was on the left side which was also pretty cool, because he happened to be left handed. How considerate of the camera manufacturer, taking lefties like me into account! Going through the pile of pictures he picked up at the camera shop, the images were almost the opposite of what he had intended to shoot. After getting over his initial disappointment, he had to admit the pictures were interesting indeed. Featuring a part of America he had never seen before. Though he couldn't remember any of it, it all seemed familiar…
