I agree the frame as such is beneficial, but given the square format of the photo, the top and bottom perforations look rather unnatural and act as an immediate giveaway that something is "not right". Perhaps a smooth frame would be better, in simulation of medium format? Not that it matters all that much, but you place a lot of importance on presentation, so I decided to mention it anyway.
yeh maybe more hands but they can become distracting
analogue frame was a deliberate attempt at incongruity, well spotted
I believe a frame is important to most images, especially one that has white at the edges
98% of my work is 35mm black and white printed full frame including rebate, shades of HCB, for a long time I thought HCB's idea about crop in camera and print rebate was BS, then I realised I do it anyway, the neg is so small to start with there is little to waste
