Proponents of critical analysis within the visual arts have commented on the
difference between the square and the rectangle. The square objectifies it
is argued, whereas the rectangle provides more of a context.

I always wrote (and F&H too) that the square format was made to be
cropped if necessary, sometimes your composition is right for the
square -BTW nice picture format- and sometimes not. I have seen
several Sidibé (from Mali) square photographs, others close to square
and other with rectangular cropping, all taken with his Rolleiflex and
I could write similar from other Rollei TLR photographers.
