Back in the Studio...

I took a matting and framing class this weekend at an independent art studio in Philadelphia.  It was great to be in a photography studio again.  The studio itself is a space in progress with a darkroom, computer work spaces, and a spacious gallery in transition for its next artist.

The matting portion of the class seemed like a lot of common sense at first, but once I started my practice runs, I realized just how much time is spent on the little details.  The end product - two of my food photographs matted and framed - was very rewarding.  I'm definitely going to put this new knowledge to use!
