John Szarkowski once said that photographers are quoting out of context when they make photographic pictures. I think he means that when pictures are being taken, the photographers will usually create more than one situation in the picture. One picture can show many different situations just by cropping the picture a certain way.
Painting by Edgar Degas
This painting here by the famous painter Edgar Degas shows framing which photographers made popular during the time of Degas's paintings. This shocked people because paintings didn't normally show a photographer's point of view. This was a new influence on the painter's audience.
