I finally did it!!! I have cluttered my walls with my photos and have been asked by a few friends for prints. Original rovers are now hanging in a number of homes.
*Amateurs Only* - How many framed prints did you make this year?

Even though quite a few folks admitted selling (commercial) their prints skewing results toward a greater number of mounted prints, the numbers are still revealing.
2/3s of us make 5 or fewer mounted prints a year. There are an awful lot of very expensive 12, 18, 24 and 36mp cameras making web shots.

I only started to print my digitals in dezember so i only printed about 5.
I could not be happier and i should have made prints much earlier! The look, the "feel" and the appreciation is much higher.
However i now need to get a new monitor with true colors and brightness 🙂

Wait, it was for framed prints, not merely mounted ones, right? If we are going to count mounted prints we haven't framed, then I did seven not five. I'm sure that will drastically alter the survey results. 😛 Besides, I'll have you know I have made close to two dozen prints already, and it's only January. They are just not mounted or framed yet! It did say "this year," didn't it? 😉
BTW, all the prints I made this year (month) have been wet prints, made in my darkroom. No megapixels involved!
Ask us again in December. I'll probably be up to nine by then! 🙂

This past year I have printed a lot, however only framed about 8 as gifts (11x14 and 16x20 prints in 16x20 and 20x24 frames). I still don't have a single framed photo of my own!
I just bought 6 more frames to finish my living room project.

In this regard yes. It is nice to see my photos out for display. The ones I like. And it is pretty easy. The frames i choose, matted for 8x10 photos are $11 at Ikea. I know there are much better ways to do this, but for my ease and to my eye.... I upload 300 dpi images onto Flickr and order prints through their system. 10 minutes of mounting and measuring and the art is on the wall. I hope this helps others see a low maintenance quick way to do this if that is their barrier.

I framed around 35 or so for am exhibit I have, still going on through April. It started in November last year, so I guess technically that was last year.
This was the first time I hired out the framing. There were some circumstances that put me behind in getting ready for the show, in addition, I printed much bigger than I am capable of mat cutting and framing myself.
