What an interesting comment.  I've got the Mont St-Michel book and the prime reason I bought it is that the composition (plus a lot of other features in the photographs, of course) is nothing like other books on the Mont St-Michel.
 
I wonder how many members of this group also see in square.  How many see vertically.  Personally, perhaps because my vision tends to work in such a way, I see horizontal and - more and more so - panoramic.    But I also have a fascination for well a articulated square vision. Square is more difficult to shoot than the 24x36 format but, in my own view, it can yield much more powerful images.

 Anybody has views on square vs rectangular, horizontal vs vertical?

It's fun, doing the research for a project like this, but at a certain point it's time to just go out and do it yourself.

If Kenna is shooting digitally he's not using a 35mm digi.  He sees in squares anyway, and makes beaucoup bucks.
