I know, I know, I'll never make it as a photographer if I don't crop - I just don't like doing it. I have this idea that cropping somehow takes away from the purity of the moment I captured in the viewfinder. More sensible people would look at my work and find a way to crop (and improve)every single image in my portfolio. But I argue that a good photographer learns to get better by printing full frame. Anyone else feel this way? FWIW, I haven't decided which version of Steve's ICU photo I like better. Full frame as a part of a picture story, cropped as a single image, I think. Nice work. - -Liam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
