every thing needs a name. even the format of photographs. in German, it's 'Hochkant' and 'Querformat'. an odd pair of words, as they can't be put the other way round, there is no 'Querkant', and no 'Hochformat'.
in English, the corresponding words are 'portrait' and 'landscape'. a quite philosophical terminology, as they almost invite to explore portraits of landscapes. like this one: the road to Tramuntana, on a day of clouds.
