Photographers who make their own enlargements or days those who crop and make their own digital prints, crop the photographs to meet specific frame sizes, for example, 5×7, 8×10, 11×14 etc. Many times we have to crop out part of the photograph to make it fit the frame or to make it fit a specific [...]]]>http://www.frankbrueske.com/missing-for-45-years/feed/0Overcast Days
