Why 16" x 24" photos ?

Although the size is referenced as 16" x 24", the photos are actually 24" wide x 16" tall.

This size is chosen because it makes the photo look panoramic, and spectacular, and the observer will get the impression that he is inside the scene.

To enjoy these photos on your wall, you don't need expensive frames or even glass. See below the sample photos on this wall, and check the tutorial below on how to frame these photos using inexpensive but nice frames.

What you need to buy at Michaels:

To build the frame you need to buy two sets of metallic frames: One set of 16" ($9) , and the other set 24" ($12).

Each set has four (4) pieces, but you will only use two pieces of one set, and two
pieces of the other set, and the remaining frames can be used to frame another photo.

Also buy the board ($3 to $5 depending on brand), and have it cut exactly 16" x 24". This will be the support for the back of your photo:

Start assembling the frame. Use two 16" pieces for the side frames and two 24" pieces for
the top and bottom frames, but leave one side open, the last 16" frame piece.
