Why do many/most people like…frames? (Or maybe not?) And what defines a frame?
This window photo displays some frames – photographed when I was looking out of my own hotel window. I like it, despite its drabness and ordinariness.
Many city windows look just like the one above…or like this one…
But a frame does not have to look like a window frame or a door frame…or a painting frame – it can be…different.
How many frames can you find in this photo?
And frames can be – very different!
It can stare at you in night light…
…or give you an irregular, sunlit moment.
So – what do you think about frames? Are you a compulsive frame user, or not? Do we need them at all?

Wonderful, thought inspiring observations, each and all….!
Thank you very much!
I would say, whole photographing is about the frame. The decision you take each time – what to show and what to skip on the photo – means building frames around the view.
True, I agree!
You framed your questions in a very interesting way. 😉 I think it’s almost impossible to be without a frame. We are always framed by something or part of a frame. The etymology of frame shows its wide variety of uses. http://www.etymonline.com/word/frame ; how much a part of our life a frame is.
I do use frames from time to time…perhaps I will do a post in answer to yours later on!
How fun – great idea!
I’ll post later today, or tomorrow while the storm rages
Storm today? I thought that was a couple of days ago! Take care.
Tomorrow we have high winds as storm Brian approaches….so I did my shopping this morning, have an appointment at midday, then I stay inside for 24 hours, or at least, that’s the plan!
What happened to Ophelia?
Oh, she rampaged and raged but not where I am
Those are fun, A-C. I like to use frames of some sort quite often, whether natural or manmade.

In some photos they make quite a difference.
