"I have admired Sidibe photographs for some. I was unaware that he
used a Rollei since the framing is most often not square. His work is
a living documentary of Senegal!"
Since Sidibé is from Mali and took a lot of photographs keeping the
square or almost square format, I have the right to think you did not
know about Siridibé very much before my first post on the topic.
You can convert a rectangle into square, but it is a lot easier to use
a square to compose a rectangle than a rectangle to compose a square.-
