Rules were made to be broken, and the true photographer knows
when and how to break them :-)

Having a different ratio simply means you adjust how and what you
view through the viewfinder, margin for editing they call it these days.

The only person this isnt true for is the happy snapper, and I've
never seen them use 'rules', just point and shoot.

Then of cause you have the Olympus user, a class of their own,
there is no mold for this type of photographer, they just are, and
this is probably why you see some excellent works of light based
art from this class of user ;-)
