Hear, hear! We couldn't afford to "waste" slides yet, when self processing
with the aid of an enlarger, cropping was almost a given.

I think the "no cropping" idea became popular when many photographers
were shooting slide film. The same goes for a lot of the more
restrictive "get it right in the camera" stuff.
You didn't crop because you couldn't. So you got it right in the camera.

I crop my photos with an eye toward potentially printing in a standard
aspect ratio. I do take pains to preserve as much as possible, but I'm
far
less concerned about drawing hoots from pixel-peepers than I am about
presenting the shot in its best format.

If you do any kind of portraiture, you quickly learn to frame loose
and plan on cropping. There's nothing worse than taking a group shot
and realizing that you can't crop it to 8x10.

I crop 60 to 70% of my photos. I frequently shoot with the intention

cropping at least a small amount. Better to leave a bit too much than
a bit
too little.

Scroll down in this article and have a look at three famous images
before and after cropping to their published form. Amazing,
especially
the Arnold Newman pair: Picasso and Stravinsky.

Admittedly the extreme cases were probably only possible because of
being shot with a large format camera to begin with, but whatever.
