Agreed. What is so sacred about in-camera? There
are and have been many different formats over the years.
Shouldn't each image merit its own space and proportions? Leave
a little extra room, which seems advisable anyway with the
inaccuracy of viewfinders over the years, and then go at it.

Andrew, the photographic fundamentalist! ...lest we lose a slither

Perfectionists are a vanishing species... craftsmen and women who
care for every mm of picture area.
Me... I crop away with impunity, clone in missing parts, drop in a
new sky, take out an obstructive car.... align lines and change
angles... What a rule-less, even godless infidel I am. No respect
for the medium in my photographic barbarism- tearing at the heart
of the art and forcing it into servitude. Bending it's will to my
own. In the end, it's only purpose is to fulfill MY vision.
Whatever it takes!

And be forced to crop the edges of the
photograph? No thanks; I'd rather
have it right in camera.
