Digital BW, The Print

Guhan, I have not looked for that particular size. You see, I still shoot
4x5, 6x9, 127, and 35mm so I don't have a standard size. And while some may
use golden rules, I find that proportions find their way to ones eye based
on the image, which includes the frame and matte at the finishing stage.
