You know what? Today I learned everything about how to mat photographs. A workshop that was hosted by the Princeton Photography Club. I also got to know some new people and learned that some members are familiar with my website. So let me quickly thank you guys for organizing this. I think it was very valuable for everybody. If you want to find out a bit about what matting is all about, I have this link for you.
I guess my next step would be getting a cutter (like this one) and get started.
