Some of us do. I personally don't because I have to many to frame. 
But I know the process. You'll need to get a 'spacer' to put between the glass and photo to keep the picture from sticking to the glass over time. You can also go with a 'matte style' framing, which involves buying a slightly larger frame than 8x10 and using a matt board with a 8x10 square cur out if it. This too will go between the glass and the photo.
If you have a Joann's fabric store near you, they can show you how it's done. Or you can search "Matte Framing" on google and that should help you out.

Using a photo matting will create a buffer zone between the photo and the glass. It is important the phto doesn't touch the glass! Using UV protection glass is also important!
