Three. Inkjet prints printed on an Epson 3800 from digital files. I printed a whole lot more than this, though, but I simply do not have the wall space. Prints are kept in archival binders.

Cheers,

But it will be my New Years' resolution to move some of my images out of the virtual world to the real world in 2012.
 
I voted 25, as I framed a bunch for our town craft fair. I sold two. A commercial motivation, but I'm no pro: just a dilettante with a card table.
 
One ... well, maybe. I had a favorite photo from my recent trip made into a 20x35 inch canvas wrap for the living room. It's not framed, but it's printed and hanging. ;-)

When I sell prints, I don't frame them. I sell unmounted/unframed prints.
 
The answer would be zero had I not submitted a few photos to some juried shows. Happily enough they accepted a few so I printed and frame them. 3 so far. Will probably print and frame a photo every month or so to amortize the cost of having a series I like exist in the actual world ;)
 
for the first time ever i have a few of my photos hanging on my walls in the form of canvas prints. there are many pros to framing photos vs having them printed on canvas, but in the end i went with canvas as it's simpler for me + i really like the feel of them and their lack of framing.

it really is a special feeling seeing your photos printed large and on your walls for the first time...
 
1 framed on a 50 x 50 cm archival quality for an exhibition. First, as test of a series of about 15 to be printed and framed next year.

43 so far, with a week+ to go...

I own a bakery - Upstairs from the bakery is a restoration and custom frame shop, one of only a few in the US qualified to do this really intense canvas transfer procedure with fine art paintings.

We trade with them for lunch and special occasions, (and get AMAZING original paintings from Lance Walker.) I give people photographs as presents and occasionally sell one off the wall of the bakery.
 
Only these 2, unfortunately both digital :(

A custom frame for this panorama for my folks (it's about 7.7" x 23"):

And an 8x12 of this one for a friend (a shot of his Level 3 certification flight):

More for 2012, I promise (especially film)! Unfortunately other than giving them away I have little use for prints at the moment, and I have this weird aversion to putting up photos I took myself. Actually my wall decorations of any kind are virtually zero nowadays, but I used to have the place practically covered. I dunno why... :confused:

Framed seven this year. A friend who is also a RFF member has quite a few of his framed on the walls. They look so good this got me started.

The Opus shop mentioned above sometimes has sales on frames. Bought $300+ worth a while back and when I find time will frame and hang a few more. The ones I'm using are their metal exhibition frames. I also bought an on sale mat cutter from Opus, sure makes the job easy.

They seem to only have shops on the Canuck left coast, but here's a link anyway. ----> http://opusartsupplies.com/

Started printing with an Epson 3880 last year. Must say I'm very impressed with the results, well worth framing. I use it for both colour and B&W. Have been able to print from negatives that were beyond my dark room skill to handle. Hard to beat software for tweaking the difficult ones.

Was never able to get a decent wet print from this negative, contrast range was just too extreme. http://www.indiamike.com/files/images/48/47/11/river-crossing.jpg

Finally got a decent print via scanning then 3880 so it will soon be going on the wall. It's a little foot bridge over the Kabul river. Shot with a 3g and 90 Elmar forty years ago in 1971.
