As much as I like taking photos and creating AI images, I also enjoy adding the most appropriate picture frames to my images. Picture frames can enhance photos that might otherwise, and usually inadvertently, go unnoticed. They distinguish a photo from its surroundings and create a visual boundary that helps the viewer focus exclusively on the image and undisturbed by the arts surroundings. They also provide a sense of depth, context, and style to the photo. By choosing a frame that complements the colors, shapes, and mood of the image, the picture becomes more appealing and expressive.

Unfortunately, I sense that some people and one or two groups resent my placing a frame on a picture, but I submit the frame is. part and parcel of my image. A painting without a frame is like a diamond without a setting. The frame is intrinsically part of my art, and I have spent much time creating each frame, either from scratch or from my large collection of frames that i have digitally designed & collected for my past photographs. And now, I have recently sought assistance from AI software. I certainly enjoy the creative and artistic process of developing the right frame for the right piece and hope that others certainly don't hold it against me or my meager works of art.
