Do you display your photos?

Yes
I have an A4 frame on my desk at work and regularly change the content. It attracts a lot of attention and I have been asked for a couple of prints from the 3 I displayed here:

Folk at work seem to really like these maybe cos its local or maybe they look better in print? Also no 3 is the favourite which is my least preffered one!

Does anyone else display their work to friends / colleagues or are all the images hidden away on their hard drives?
 
No, I don't usually display them - I do get photobooks made or get prints and do a scrap book every year, but I don't really display them. My sister in law has a fair collection on her walls of shots that I've taken though and my Mam has a couple on her walls. I do show people my shots, but not all that often.

I was just thinking the other day that I really needed to get some prints or do another book :lol:
 
From where I sit in the office, I've just counted 32 different images around the walls - there's also a great big framed photo-mosaic of last year's photo-365. There's probably another 10 or so around the rest of the house. The photo-365 also ended up turning into a photobook, and last year I filled a couple of albums with 10x8's. I dread to think what i'd do If I actually took a GOOD photograph!
 
Nope - I have a frame with a few of my pets in given to me by a good friend, but as a general rule I prefer to keep them on my PC and flick through - and a lot of my pictures I never look at again.

I have a feeling I'll be in a minority on a photography forum :D
 
I have printed a few recent shots of mine but thats simply because they were of our 4 week old son. My mum has a couple of my shots printed as they are landscapes of where she has grown up.

Keep meaning to print a few ones and get them framed but it's like a lot of things, never quite get around to getting them done.

Yes, I have a number of photographs displayed on the walls of my flat, and I do enjoy chaning them around...
 
I have about 40 of my most recent favourite images set as a screen saver on my work PC and often get favorable comments from other workers and visitors re the pictures.

I have about a dozen prints on the walls at home, two of the framea are for A2 prints (which I get from PhotoBox when they are 2 for 1 so only about £6 each) and these are changed fairly regularly.

This is interesting, I'm glad this has been asked. :)

I have several framed prints around the house, relatives have seen them and asked for copies too.

I put some photos on a non photographic website and I've been asked if I'd do canvasses by a couple of people. (NO).

I have 'a gallery' at work, basically, it's photos displayed on the side of two large cabinets. :) I tend to change them now and again. People always come and look at the latest photos on display. :) From people viewing the photos on display at work - I've had three people ask if I'd do their weddings, (NO), one person ask if I'd shoot a model who would be modelling a clothing range (NO), a couple of people asking if I'd do some portraits - yes to those requests. A police officer I met through work and saw my photoss, asked me to take some shots of her and her daughter (I said yes to that).

I don't know why I display my photos, maybe it's because I'm proud of them, Although I charged for the portraits, I'm not interested in paid work though, that's not the intention.:thumbs:

I print off my best photo's (only bothered getting about 10 done so far). My parents seem keen to display them and have a couple in their kitchen including a large print of poppies growing in their field, but I prefer to keep them to myself and put them in an album for personal viewing not for showing off to all who visit my house.
