The great thing about Square Photos

I just love your mail time videos. The work sent to you is generally very high and your comments are always insightful. It’s really interesting to see how powerful still imagery, presented in book form, can be in our video saturated world.

Love it 👍✨

All those books look amazing, thanks for sharing Ted!!!

SANDY HOOK ...is long ago and a tragedy of DRUGS being used on a young student .... Psychotropic Drugs ... forget trying to squeeze sympathy from Americans .... Drug Companies.

A fabulous selection of books. Extremely inspiring. I particularly loved the trip across Route 66 for the touching story telling, the Squares book was amazing and moody, then the colour book was brilliant literally. However the Oscar goes the epic looks to camera on the Square Space advert!

Nice work! I love the square format and often wonder how 35mm and 3:2 became the standard. I much prefer to shoot in 4:3 or 5:4

Square photos fit right into Squarespace?

Holger is followed by me two maybe three years already. Love his work and taste.

Some great work. I thought that the images by Chris and the Douglas family were stunning!

I learn so much from this videos. Loved the books from today!

After using a cheap Lubitel 6x6 TLR in the 90s, last year I finally got back to those but this time with Rolleicord Va from the 50s. It’s wonderful being on that square format journey again and looking at this work presented here from Holger

Thanks Ted! Loved the video!

If you go to the san Francisco MOMA, they have an excellent photography collection. And much of it is shot with a Rollei. the difference is Rollei is shot above waist high. A different look.

@theartofphotography are the prints behind you original karl blossfeldt images?

Don’t defile Vivaldi 😮

Ted touches on one of the things I feel is my barometer for good photography... The desire to get out and make photographs myself. Sometimes great photography just makes you stop and think, "great picture!" Other times it makes me want to stop sitting in my office, grab my camera, and walk out the door! Awesome stuff here!

Why do people believe that washed black and white photos, without pure black, are more artistic? I see everyone doing that even in color. They look for cameras with 14 ev of dynamic range and then destroy it by crushing the black turning them into gray.

My work as a painter and photographer is all square - and has been for decades. I discovered the square format through Gustav Klimt and others Artists of the Vienna Secession, established in 1898.

I'm also a filmmaker, but square films look goofy. I might change my mind about that - but I doubt it.

I recently became the owner of a hand-me-down Leica D-Lux Typ 109. I have it set to black and white - and square format, of course.

Best wishes from Vermont ❄️

Is the plural of "Douglas" Dougli?

Holger- Amazing work!

Well done Chris! Great idea and hanging out with grown sons is awesome.

I just wanted to say that your light is the perfect temperature. Just such a great warm tone to contrast against the black and white background. Always looks so good!

Beautiful idea Chris and the book looks stunning!

Nice book Chris👌🏻…and Holger…..and Ricky……and Tristan…….Tks Ted🤘🏼

Square is awesome!
