I've decided my mind is too concrete. But to decide such a thing is, itself, concrete and therefore I have no way to escape myself.
Such is life

Thank you for the add. you have an absolutely beautiful gallery, i added you so I can be kept up on your georgeous work. How do you do your black border with the white trim? I've been experimenting with borders and have yet to find a style I enjoy but I love your effect, very simple and elegant. Thanks for sharing!

Hey! 100,000,000 years later...thank you for all your comments.
To answer your two questions, I made the faded border by taking a larger version of the image, desaturating it and making it ligher, and then layering a smaller version of the original image on top of it. I make my white on black on white borders by opening new documents in photoshop that are 10px bigger than the original, then 100px bigger than the original, and pasting as I go. Your work is pretty incredible as well.
Btw, this is Tessa, of OVS. I don't know if you knew that. Kinda random, huh?
