To avoid fading, don't hang them where the sun shines onto the wall. Indirect light is okay, but direct sunlight day after day will fade the colors. To keep the pictures from sticking to the back of the glass, put a matt in between the picture and the glass. That way you can get a larger frame too. Just buy the next frame size up from the picture, and find a matt cut to that size, with an opening the size of your picture. You can even have matts cut to fit the size of your picture.<br><b>References : </b><br> The things you need to worry about are fading and sticking to the glass in the frame.

I also make 8 X 10 prints from my negatives (real silver prints in my darkroom) and what I do is just put them in a photo frame and hang them on the wall. I try to keep them within a certain "theme" - landscape photos with water, for example. I will periodically rotate them and put up different pictures. Honestly, I just bought regular wooden 8 X 10 photo frames, which you can buy anywhere. It won't damage the prints at all. In the mean time, what you should do to protect the prints that you haven't put in a photo frame yet is put them in plastic acid-free sheet protectors. They sell them at office supply stores. You just insert the sheet in the plastic insert. They're clear plastic sheets with holes for a 3-ring binder. I have a notebook with all the pictures I've taken and developed. (Actually, I have 3 notebooks now). Periodically, I will look through them and see which pictures I think are worthy of being displayed.<br><b>References : </b><br> I take landscape photos, and I use almost entirely film (35mm and 120 size film).
