The Sound of Silence
Because Flickr only accepts rectangular pictures, this image was specifically tailored for and looks its best when using Flickr's computer version.
Even as we strive for innovation and uniqueness, we follow traditions. The squareness of a picture has become such a given that we don't even think to question it. Thus, we seem to see the world in boxes, all neatly aligned in our memory, on gallery walls and on computer screens.
Why should we, as creative individuals, be limited to seeing the world in neat little rectangles? We aim for roundness in our creations when we don't even seem to see round.
So here is an attempt to make you think differently.
