Just out of curiosity, how many of you print and frame your own work?
In the ~4 years I've been regularly shooting, I hadn't actually framed and hung up any of my own work. (Reason being that I'm never satisfied with a lot of the stuff I shoot so having it staring at me daily would annoy me to no end.) I've had people buy prints, friends and family request for them, etc... so I know others have been putting my work up. I do send things off to get printed on occasion and even spend quite a bit of time in the darkroom making prints, but all that ends up in my portfolio and tucked away.
I finally decided to hang something after Melinda sent off one of my photos to get printed! Even then, I originally intended just to add it to the portfolio, but it turned out to be too long
I bought the frame on Sunday and matted it this afternoon so it doesn't look too bad now
Now to find somewhere to put it other than the floor! Haha
Those of you who do display your stuff, how do you decide what is print/frame worthy? Do you print and/or frame just about everything? Or do you only put up the stuff you considered an achievement (ie: a shot you've been trying to get for a long time, something completely outstanding from what you normally do, etc..)? Or do you just put stuff up to fill the wall? If you don't print/frame, why not?
Maybe share some photos of your home decor where you've displayed your work! It'll be interesting to see what some of you guys have up
