hey dave,

i completely agree about the cropping. for some reason, i try to do all of
my cropping out in the field and consider it close to a mistake if i have to
do this in the darkroom.

i used to think that photography was 75% in the darkroom but my attitude has
changed to "do it right on set, not in post-production."

i hope its making me a better shooter.
