I made an 8*10 of a picture that I took of a guitar player who was sitting against a Starbucks, strumming away. Second grade ink jet print, too much contrast, but it's taped to the wall, masking tape top and bottom, ends curled inward. I really like the pic and believe it to be my best shot to date.

Lots - many framed (I love to cut my own mats) and a bunch in a long hallway into my studio/office. When the wall was built, I had the carpenters put several rows of large head nails in three horizontal lines across the wall, which was then puttied over and painted. Now I hang some of my latest stuff there using super strong magnets from a toy vendor.

I have put sheet metal in various panel doors in our condo. Painted them over and use magnets to hold the prints. The panels act like frames ;-)
 
I wish I did metal panels - many times I can't quite find a nail, but mostly it works pretty well for me. I leave a decent border on the prints and most are 16x20 or 20x24 so I can find a nail SOMEWHERE :)
 
Nothing hanging off the wall, but I have a couple of picture frames standing around:
- Portrait of my sister's pooch...what can I say, he's family too.
- Portrait of a good friend who passed away unexpectedly a few years ago.
- Group polaroid of some of my friends and a WW2 veteran.
- One 20x20cm 'Artsy' photo of a lady friend standing in a lake.
 
I took advantage of the Adoramapix special and ordered 6 prints for our closet door frames. Holding the prints in place with small strong magnets onto the sheet metal that I glued inside the frames.

I just started last year hanging up framed 11x14 B&W's of my Street Photography.

It is a good idea....
It is much better to have framed prints to pass on than DVDs full of files, which you will do also.

No one will make prints from your Archive DVDs.....But, they may/will hang up a few prints as a memory wall.

Yes, but only because the frames are so big that I dont know what to do with them after a show.

I have my own personal photo gallery, with three frames on both walls, in my hallway. I change out the photos every year or so. The only permanent ones, at the short entrance to the hallway, are two wedding bride photos my father took back in the 1960s. He used them as demos to show his finished product.

Family photos are on the fireplace mantle.
