A bit on cropping, I love to crop my photos! Some photographers say it must be full frame to be "true." All I have to say about this is tell a painter that they can only use one size of canvas, you would be laughed at, why is a camera any different?

Photos that don't suck / 365 / Film & Lomography
Sorry, off topic but...
...there's an easy answer for that. A painter knows the canvas size he starts with, very much like you know the image size of your chosen camera/film format, or image sensor.
A painter then fills the canvas from edge to edge, according to his best artistic ablility and craftsmanship. He does not look at the painted image afterwards and decides that he'll just cut some of the canvas off because the upper right half turned out to be crud. Yet, that's what you effectively do with a cropped image - at the moment of creation, you didn't care much about what you were actually creating!
Okay, now you owe me 2 cents .
