Hi Jim, of course you are correct regarding careful composition using the 
entire frame. I wish that I always shot that thoughtfully.
The 11x14 of USS Salem is a beauty. Let's see more of those glorious large 
format shots.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hi Hoppy:

Thank you for looking.

I consciously compose for the square when using the Rolleis and other 
4x4 and 6x6 cameras, (except for the 24 frame adapter).  I find that I 
really don't like to crop any of my images.

Jim
