“The frame through which I viewed the world changed too, over time. Greater than scene, I came to see, is situation. Greater than situation is implication. Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined in any frame.”
― Eudora Welty, On Writing
I suppose the framing of a photo subject provides contextual information about the surrounding area. Imagine this deer framed by a fence, instead of by pine boughs.
And how does the framing of the Golden Gate Bridge affect the mood or message of this monument?
Often, in the practice of mental health, it helps to ‘re-frame’ a thought – to examine the story I’m telling myself about a situation and see if there’s a different way that the story could be told, from a different perspective, with a different contextual focus. It’s amazing how profoundly impactful frames can be, shaping and informing how we view a subject. I suppose, as photographers, we can use that tool to tell the story we want to tell.

Loved your choices this week Priscilla. The opening image is fabulous and all of the images you included of your husband are wonderful as well.
Thanks, Tina. I have to clarify – that’s not my husband, it’s my friend Steve. 🙂
Stunning examples and photos!
Thank you!
Excellent examples of framing in composition!
Thanks!
Perfect choices for this challenge Priscilla!
Thanks!
What a great collection, all amazing but that first one is something else. I love it.
Thanks! Yes, I know that architecture is your favorite. 😉
🙂
The featured photo is my fave. You have picked some good shots for the challenge.
Thanks, Teresa!
Loved your thoughts in this whole post, Priscilla, and how you applied those thoughts to your photos. The Golden Gate Bridge does look different in different contexts. The man framed in the door and the cave were fantastic, and the wedding dress shot was fun. Of course the calmness of the lady under the branch and the dock shot were fabulous faves.
Thanks, Donna. Definitely some of my favorites, too. 🙂
Beautiful examples of framing, Priscila and an intriguing question of how we frame and whether it influences the “message.” Definitely it does. I especially love the image of the man framed by the cave. A great photo. Have a good week, too.
Thanks, Patti! 🙂
GREAT photos. Opening monochrome and ending lake scene are among my many faves.
Thanks so much, John! 🙂
All are beautifully framed, Priscilla! The mono is my fave. The last image is amazing.
Thanks, Amy!
