Evidently, some are of the opinion that there is a difference between record and create. (I seem to recall that this is a Rob C theme.)
Indeed it is, Isaac, and one upon which I have learned to remain mute!
However, having spent an afternoon recently playing around with my dslr and looking for ideas that could be expressed as squares, à la Hasselblad, I realised more than ever just how beholden one is to what's there. The best one (I) could do was to gaze at the world and hope something small and tight enough presented itself. I don't see the square as much good for the typical landscape shot: it needs things that give the feeling of enclosure in a box. I felt nothing remotely creative about that search - just editing of what's under the nose.
Via a site I've forgotten, I came across a series of images made with a Leica M of some sort using a 3.5 or 3.8/21mm Leica lens. The quality of those pictures was quite remarkable: so clean, colourful, crisp and devoid of apparent over-sharpening. I've never seen jpegs like that before.
Oh to be rich. (And creative.)
