In my newest work, I place black & white photographs behind wooden windows which serve as the frames. I buy some windows new and some from salvage yards. The windows are cleaned thoroughly and clear stained to prevent any debris from depositing on the dry mounted Ph neutral photo. When hung, these installations depict what you might see looking out a window into your back yard.

Shooting these photos is a bit different from regular picture taking because the pictures must take in a wider area of view, especially in the foreground, as would the scene outside a window.

Framing is especially difficult because the photograph must fit into the particular window dimensions and the essential elements of the picture must not be blocked by the muntins which separate the panes.
