I dislike edges, frames, rules
How do we do this
Robert Irwin explores this well
I am entranced by his light, easy to walk right in TO by mistake done that
Is there history of edgeless prints

Perhaps I seek an old dream/nightmare
For years nightly, I would dream I was in an endless white space
No way out, as fast as I could move in the dream, there was no end, nor could I SEE an end
I seemed to be ON endless white AND surrounded by it
How do I photograph that?
I also did not see my body, so nothing to photograph
Now it comes to me, I was, a dot, tiny microscopic dot
not sure I want that dream now
perhaps I was internalizing geometry, an endless line, with endless points subdivided
in all directions
Well, one thing I think a no-no for me is no black borders... They seem to box or "cage" in the image...
Bernice Abbot wrote years ago about something she described as "organic borders", where there is a easy transition between image and what the viewer might imagine beyond borders... I take that might mean to not complicate edges much, and be careful to allow compositions to start to emerge within frame, and be careful to not allow dynamics near edges to start to flow out of frame area...
Subtle, but don't complicate edges to much...

An old fashion way to more natural boarders was the oval vignette.
...Dilettante! Who you calling a Dilettante?
Yes, but it was also used to hide wet plate edge defects
I do like oval frames for portraits
Since we are now trapped inside DIgi space, even if we use rounded, it must be placed within a Digi rectangle for 'sharing'
Early TV was round, I bought one 25 years ago exactly this, threw out the guts and put a 13" modern? color tube in it, fit very well
ALL visitors asked how I got it to work
I saw the Beatles on a 8" round TV with 20 people
