Going back through a set of images after a certain amount of time has elapsed, I'll often discover new compositions hiding in plain sight within old frames. Pictures within pictures, in other words. For me, for some reason, extensive cropping has always been something that I've tended to avoid. Over time, I've taught myself to be more free in altering the frame. At the end of the day, it is the final image that matters. In this connection, I always think of that famous portrait of Igor Stravinsky by photographer Arnold Newman.
