I moved to Louisiana in August 1988 from the coastal, watercolor world of Long Island, where cross breezes from the Atlantic and the Long Island Sound swept the summer heat into a bearable scirocco that smelled, always, faintly of the sea.

Free the Instagrams from your iPhone with a hand-crafted framenew

I recently started printing my Instagrams, but I had a hard time deciding how to display them. I wanted to be able to easily switch the photos while also keeping up the ones I couldn't part with. The solution: I made my own interchangeable Instagram frame.
