framing your work. why?

i typically store most of my photography on my pc – i know, bad, bad, bad… 

:: slaps hand :: 

(i do have them backed up on external hard drive though)

but for the ones that i do print off, i keep them in a photo album.  i don’t usually go through much effort in ‘framing’ my stuff.  so why do it?

well lets just start with 2 very obvious reason why:

• framing protects your photos from airborne pollutants
• framing prevents people examining your images using the braille system; no touching = no smudges

now the more formal answer to why:

Support for ease of viewing* – At its simplest, framing acts as a support system for optimum viewing of a picture. It keeps the image flat and permits it to be easily placed upright on a wall or other support at a suitable viewing height.
