Being semi-young there's nothing wrong with ANGLED (not crooked) shots!
Even if Ted will disagree ;) It's not a friggin landscape!! Maybe it's
only a fad and you old timers will be right in the long run but have fun
with it while you can!! Fast and loose while still thinking about
composition!! w3wT !!

Yes, Xtol 1:1.  I know what you mean about Travel & Leisure and I just 
joined another e-mail list that's made up of mostly very young 
photojournalists.  Every photo is very crooked!  That's the style.  Who
am 
I to argue ;-)   I know Ted will have things to say about the crooked 
frame.  I thought it was a fun exposure for just winding the film on and

not aiming or anything!

By the way, Honduras does run down hill ...... and up hill.  There's not
a 
flat place in the country!  That's why my knees are gone!!
