Camera vs. Frame [short]


I'm curious about the physical notion of a camera versus a frame. In a not-so-odd way, I feel that they have almost the same function.

A camera acts as a device that captures a moment in time, generally limited to a certain size, bound within walls.
A frame acts as a device the holds this moment in time, generally limited to a certain size, bound within walls.


So in a way, when one takes a photo, could they also be framing it at the same time? Though the obvious answer may be 'of course they are, they must frame it before they shoot the actual photo'. But what about after the fact?
