I'll be starting my foundation year at Emily Carr this next fall. I see this is an old shot. Did you get to go to the school?

That's such a nice frame. Picture looks great in it. While I'm here I'll show you a few of my pics I framed recently..

I'm a little nervous about everything but I've let opportunities that have been handed to me simply slip away because I never pursued them wholeheartedly. Perhaps this time around I can make something happen for myself and actually stick with it. In the end I hope I can say that I succeeded or likewise failed instead of talking about what I could be or could've been or couldn't be or could never have been. I'll never know unless I try.
My favorite is the photo with the boys - the frame really goes remarkably well with the print. The photo in the first link with the ocean and what seems to be a section of island is nice too although I find the frame much too light. Are you using Rubber Cement or another adhesive to matte them? If you are it'll really lessen the life of the print and induce fading in only a few years. I'm not trying to be a know-it-all I'm only mentioning this in the event you ever want to frame something that'll last whether for yourself or someone else. I will not elaborate but if you ever need help or something just note me. Thanks for sharing them

That's right.. good luck with it all.
That frame with the boys is Japanese The island frame is actually much darker than the picture portrayed. In the bottom left and top right corners is the actual colour, the rest is where the light hit it. I'm using blu-tack, just in the corners. So, if I wanted to keep my photo for more than a few years, what could I use to adhese it to the paper?

Archival quality Photo Corners that are acid-free and contain no lignins. I use the acrylic self-adhesive type as I'm a beginner but there other -more manual- kinds out there. A box of 240 clear-acrylic corners for glossy photos cost me $4.99 USD so its a pretty small investment for the difference that it can make on a photo say fifty or one-hundred years from now.
