How many photos did you print in 2009?

I printed 5 11x14 B&W prints in my new darkroom. To get a finished photo that I am happy with takes me a lot of time and a lot of paper!
Two of the prints were matted and framed and are hanging in the house, the wife requested these :)
I had my local printer do a roll of 36 5x7's.

This year looks like I will get very little time in the darkroom as we just had our first child... lots of photos tho.

I guess I'd be interested in turning the question around: How many didn't print in 2009, or have never printed, or don't think they will ever print?

[FONT=&quot]I consider my web images ‘working prints’. So I’ve made quite a few working prints in ’09.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I really like the look of the ‘wet print’ and I am curious as to how some of my pics would look using this medium.[/FONT]

I used to print quite a bit, but my darkroom went unused for a few years, and when we moved last year I no longer have the space, and that gear is in storage.

So the answer is none printed. In 2009 I "processed" hundreds of scans and RAW camera files though.
 
Did another 6 RA4 prints last night, doesn't sound a lot but to get these things right and the fact that I'm usually spending between 2-3 mins in the developer at cool temperatures (say 18degC) it soon adds up.

Particularly taking breaks to drink a cuppa :)

LIkely to do some black and white tonight as I've a few prints to prep; that's assuming I'm not out this evening! (Yep I have been known to have a life away from photography. hehe)

my printer says... hmm can't be that much!!
ok about 60-70 20x30 (cm) offered to friends 30% B&W.
2 x 120x70 color cm on the wall
No frames, just KLine 3/5mm mount.
 
I do not keep a log of my prints, (I'll do in 2010) but considering the boxes of paper I bought etc etc I would say 20/25 high quality A4 (at leaste where I tried to get my best available quality, which means most of them required 2 or 3 attempt). around 50 in smaller format . Moreover I printed around 30-40 A4 on different papers or same paper different setting as exercise in order to learn more about. it is a difficult process and the learning curve is long...
