Man I really want to frame my Adrift immediately, but I have NO idea how I want to do it at this point. I need to see more :?

Beautiful framing on both pieces mtarail :clap:

I've been thinking of framing my Street much the same as your Adrift - with a fat black frame and 8 ply black mat. But I'm not sure if a black mat is the way to go. Any opinions? Has anyone framed their Street with a black mat? I'd love to see pics if you have.

I second this - Because of the size I've been wanting to display these 2 together & am wondering if anyone else has their 'Street' in a black mat / frame. Getting my materials this week & can't wait to see them on the wall. If it works using all black on these 2 pieces they will be quite a contrast with the all white Keyes!

Thanks. Gotta say, these Geddes' just pop when they're framed. I'm in danger of creating a Geddes room, so they're not all stuck in portfolios...

POP! Excellent photo too.

How does the matte size compare to the actual border of the print?

And plain ol' UV glass, or some kind of anti-glare too?

Thanks. It is just basic UV glass.
Slightly less than 1/4" of the print border is showing on the top and sides. The mat is about 3 3/4" wide and the frame is 1" wide.
Geddes' paper is almost an exact match to the alpharag color "pure white".
