Cropped photos are life. I cannot comprehend the sort of

full-frame. It just does not work that way. Any one who has spent
time in a dark room has experienced the process of just HOW to crop
a decent negative. A lot of poor pictures produce a great cropped image.

I never knew cropping could be such an emotional subject. I never
think about it, I just do it, both in the camera and later, as the
mood strikes me.
I wonder how all the famous painters of the past decided how to crop
their paintings. Was it a result of the size of the canvas they
could afford, the dimensions of the wall or ceiling they were working
on, the size of frames available (if there were ready-made frames), or what?
