I have been complaining about how difficult the square format is, so perhaps it is time to do something about it. I decided to try taking photographs for one month using squares, and if all goes well, perhaps even making a SoFoBoMo project out of it. It is very different to crop afterwards that to compose directly in the square format. Or so I think.

I did some further exploration of the square format today, trying to learn what works and what doesn't. I'm not sure whether I made any progress, but here are some samples. Thanks to the format being built-in to the LX3, it should be easy to compose in this format. But it isn't.
