Re: [Leica] Cropping

[Daniel Ridings <daniel.ridings@muspro.uio.no>]

I remember looking at his crop and thinking: "Yes, that's my picture, the
way I remember it."

I had to actually go back and look at the original to see the extraneous
material that was taken away. It (the removed areas) wasn't anything that
had left an impression in my mind.

When I worked for a newspaper people were cropping my stuff all the time.
A lot of times just to fit into the column-space and the reasons for
cropping didn't have anything to do with the shot. This was different.
