New Resource:  Framing Glossary

Framing Points
    

Want to know exactly what a rabbet is?  How about a riser?  Or a spacer?  Frame Destination has recently added a Framing Glossary to our website. The glossary is a great resource for artists/photographers who want to learn more about framing.  It features definitions, as well as diagrams and pictures of framing industry terms.

 

In addition to providing education, the glossary can also help eliminate confusion when you need to design a special project or custom size frame.  The right terminology

ensures that, when you communicate with us about your project, we are all speaking the same language, and you get the results you want. 
Phoozl Photo Contest!  

  

 

Calling all photographers (you know who you are!)  If you haven't discovered the Phoozl website yet, now is a great time to check it out.  It's a fun place to take a break from the grind of culling and editing, or you can hop over to it while you're waiting for those files to upload.Phoozl Alphabetograhy

 

What IS Phoozl?  The name is a portmanteau of "Photo" and "Puzzle," and the site offers photography related interactive games, challenges (what's your photo IQ?), and also has a friendly forum community and a very nice "Photo Tips" section.  Best of all...it's FREE, and Frame Destination is proud to sponsor it!

 

This month Phoozl is hosting an "Alphabetography Photo Contest", where you submit a photo relating to the current active letter.  Check it out, and submit your entries for a chance to win a gift certificate from Frame Destination and other companies. 

Metal Frame Color Change

Nielson has discontinued their Profile 56 metal frame moulding in "Frosted Silver."  We have replaced it with "German Silver," which has a wider appeal than the old color, and is much warmer in tone.  We at Frame Destination are sorry for any inconvenience this discontinuation may cause.

20,000 Leagues Under...  

 

Well, not quite that deep.  But I recently had the chance to go on a snorkeling excursion, which included a dive in a shark cage.  I figured this would be a great photo opportunity, so I purchased the Canon underwater case for my S90. It worked great, but I did have to get used to not having access to the rear control dial.  Below are a couple photos from my first underwater shoot.  Hope you enjoy!

Cheers,
Mark Rogers
