I was interested in framing some large photos, some standard sizes (16x20, 20x24) and some not-so standard (18x24). The content is somewhat unique:

Do you have one to share?

Thanks!

I would like to know where are they going to hang. I think they could stand on their own with no frame. My next thought is that the first one could be framed in metal, with a foil mat. The second feels more traditional, mat and wood frame (like the window frame).

Well, right now they are hanging in a gallery in Deep Ellum ... possibly hang them at home in home office on (currently) white walls
