I voted none - however I have really gotten into photobooks these past couple of years and tend to print via that format - I have three so far from Blurb. They make great presents and are ideal for showing off your work.
 
About 20. Some hang in my living room, some get sold, some get exhibited, some are given to friends. For me, the photographic process ends with a framed print on a wall.
 
2011 for me was the year in which I came to realize that a photo is not a photo until it is printed and framed on the wall. Despite this realization, I only made 10.
 
None. 2011. This 1st January week already one, but it doesn't count for 2011 anymore. Ask us again in a year. My count will be then > 0 for shure :)
 
Time to come clean, I voted 'None'.

In my defence, the year is only a few weeks old :)p).

And, I am in the process of setting up an A3+ printer to finally start making prints of my work this year! I've decided to get serious about it, so ask me again in 12 months!
 
Well, so there are dozens of happy snaps that get rotated through various 4R-8R frames around the house. These are mostly wife and kid stuff, but three images I dug out of the archives to put into some new frames in the bathroom are below. They all share the same general location and time period (in or around Chicago in the early aughts), same film (Scala with slight blue tint in post-process) and same system (Zuiko 18, 35 shift and 85). they make a nice tryptich of simple geometry.

3 Photos I really liked and put in my office at work. I planned to rotate them every quarter or so with a new set of photos but never got around to making another set. Plan to this week! Have some photos I like from travels in 2011... reminds me never updated my blog either.

I did like the idea mentioned on "The Online Photographer" to use a digital camera like film... each week limit your shots to the amount of a roll of film (your choice) and make one print per week. Cool idea but I never did it. Maybe this year.
 
I framed several small B&W prints and gave them as Christmas gifts. I also have a small "gallery" in a hallway at home. Three large black frames with matted B&W inkjet prints. I print to a standard (my standard) size and swap out the three prints every three months or so. I also try to maintain a theme for the three prints, with the latest theme being a set of images I took in Egypt (around Giza) back in 1978 when I was in the Navy.
 
50+ B&W prints and counting. All since January 1st. It's winter in the northern hemisphere which means cold weather and long nights. Making prints in my darkroom is a great way to stay involved with photography without taking any pictures.

Five so far, actually in frames. Well, OK, three that I shot. The other two were taken by a friend, Tom Livingstone, who lives in Colorado (he's good--he'll be famous someday). But hey, it's only January, and I have only so much wall space.
 
I print, mount, matte and bag 2 or 3 prints (all 8X10) a month on average.

I have 15 frames hanging up here and there and I just swap out those 15 pictures when I get bored with them.
 
Actually print, matte and framed only three for an exhibit.

Printed a few dozen, matted several of them. Perhaps 2013 will see greater production!
