And then created a crooked fucking monopoly as always, and by the time it was broken up had already so totally owned the entire fucking film industry, that there was no going back. And the camera industry just took Edisons movie films and produced still cameras to fit them. Now, the camera companies, knowing their unimaginative customer base this well, never fucking changed it for over a hundred years, long after every other technology in the camera has changed. So now you boring fuckers STILL just shoot images at whatever aspect ratio the manufacturer shoved in there, which big surprise is still the one set by Edison in the 1800s, and you frame all your compositions to conform to that century-plus year old decision bc you can't into art or you'd have to use your fucking imaginations, which you don't have or you'd be a fucking painter or illustrator or some such shit. No, you want to put as little work as humanly possible into your images and just let whatever the tools produce be your amazing creation. Fucking lame.
All sensor should be circular, capturing the entire image circle of the lens. Thus forcing the "artist" to actually give enough of a damn to compose your images and crop them with intention instead of mindless passive boringness. My GODS I swear I just hate you guys sometimes... like, right now. Sumbich
