Some of them are mine. Some from school picture day, some were taken by my wife. But most of them are mine.
We went on the Halloween party to friends house and they likes bw prints. They have about six or seven of my prints at their house walls for few years now.
 
Your question has confused me. My main goal when photographing is to print and hang on the wall later. Since I don't shoot for profit, what - in addition to albums and self-printed books - should be the final goal, anyways ?

That was kind of my thought as well.:)

Why make it a secret hobby?
 
In my studio there is a place on the wall, about 2,5 x2 meters reserved for my photos. I should change them periodically but have been lazy in the last few months...always the same...no changes...

I have a couple, nothing artsy though. Just family, my car, etc.

Every time I hang a shot I like, I end up hating it after looking at it so much.
 
In my darkroom I have about 10-15 prints that I try to rotate. They aren't framed or even in a mat, I just use some pins that go into the drywall and a few clips that clip the prints and I just hang them on the pins. Nothing fancy but keeps me going and motivated. Also interesting to see how the prints are alive - especially the Fibre ones although RC too to some extent. In the morning the prints are usually flat - with more moisture in the air and towards the evening they curl up.

In the living room I have a few framed that are of family etc. The wife has a vetoing right what goes on the wall so as long as our son appears on the print, it may go!

I am currently trying to print as many of my images as I can that I feel show my photographic style. While I don't have them hanging in my home [yet], I do plan on having several different topics around the house. I also have been creating books using blurb.com so my family have what I consider to be the "best of my best" after I am gone. I don't have any illusions about my "place" in history. I just want my kids and grandkids to have a look....
