How often do you crop?

Photography is SUPPOSED to be something creative / artistic. I LOVE how there are people that try to impose 'rules', and not sure rules, but their own rules on to others. These are the unartistic people. Although they may in fact make a living from what they are doing photographically, but I would venture to say the really creative and artistic people in the world tend not to be tied down to rules of art. Those that do, will more than likely never be REALLY famous. They may be working for ad agencies and such, but whatever... they are not the free thinking artists. Imagine if Picasso were following "rules"... of pick just about any really famous photographer... are they / were they following strict rules, esp. in regards to post-processing cropping. I tend to think they do it if needed.

I don't care if others do not agree with what I've said before. It's my 2 cents of this ridiculous issue.
