Jim,

I like the idea for a series implied in the title, "Household tasks". Since you have more siblings to introduce, the nature of this image is probably not best considered on its own, as a single brick would inform us little about the nature of the wall or architecture that is to be built! Still, you have been economical in your framing, and that's already a novel approach.

Right now, I'm intrigued, the brief look at what happens when I'm not around is interesting and conscience arousing!. I'm looking forward to more!

Asher

Perhaps the margins should be consist on all the images... as well as the size and crop.

Thank you for your feedback Antonio! Since we are on the subject of framing I would like to know what the general rule of thumb is for framing pictures ? I have heard that black frames can be a distraction for some. I have framed some images with silver frames all B/W images but yet I have seen many B/W images framed with black frames. Would anybody care to offer some thoughts on this subject?

I was meaning:
"Perhaps the margins should be consistent (and not consist as I wrote) on all the images... as well as the size and crop."

I do not know if there are rules for framing pictures but I am sure there is. Among other things one can use museum quality glass or none (like I do) and use not acid materials to hold the image.

I was only trying to suggest you could use a frame - which ever it is - consistently :) the same method, proportion and finish for a complete set of images. That IMHO gives coherence to the body of work as you images deserve.
