If you need to find a frame for your photos or a painting then you need to answer a few questions first. You need to be very clear about what you want because there are a lot to choose from. Is it something small you are after or do you want something larger like size A2 or A3 frames?
To make sure you answer these questions correctly you need to know how important the painting or the photo is. If it is of great importance, like a graduation event, then you will want to go for something that is larger. If the event was not as important then a smaller frame should do. Obviously if it is for a painting then you will probably have no option but to go with the larger one.
Once you have established its importance start thinking about where the frame is going to go. If you are putting it in full display in the house then you want something that is highly visible. If you want it next to your bed then go for a smaller frame. You won’t get many A3 frames next to your bed!
You can use one of those digital frames if you are getting a photo framed. I like to use a mixture of the ‘old fashioned’ frames and the new digital ones. They are simple to use as you can just transfer the memory card from your camera.
I like making my digital frame do a slide show so that I can always see it in the front room. I sometimes find myself just watching the slideshow and not watching the TV!
The problems with digital frames are that they do use electricity which can be costly, you can’t put paintings in them and you can’t have them large to fit A2 or A3 frames.
Whichever type of frame that you choose make sure that you do display your photos. Many people leave their photos on their camera or computers. I think that this is a shame.
