I really should do that, either print out some of my favorite images myself and frame them, but I don't have much free wall space, unfortunately. I do have some framed B&W prints that I shot years ago that hang in the dining area and also in the master bedroom, but that's it. Even then it was apparent what I like to shoot and in what style: one image is a pair of geese, one with his neck stretched out and head at an odd angle, and the print mounted on the wall adjacent to it is of the sun reflected in the water, framed by some bushes. Lots of shadow-and-light play...... In the master bedroom hangs an abstract, again playing with shadows, light, shape and texture. Also in the bedroom I do have a couple of framed photos of my two Siamese cats, Harry and Tali, shot when they were around five months old. Both of them have now long since crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Other photos, smaller ones in small frames, I have on various pieces of furniture in the living room and bedroom: family, close friends, etc. -- that either I shot or someone else has taken.
It is unfortunate that with the digital era that so many people are no longer maintaining physical photo albums or hanging framed photos on their walls. I've got several photo albums from years back, including family albums from both my husband's family and my own, plus albums of photos that I shot of family and friends at various times. When I'm gone my niece and nephew will probably be interested in the albums related to their great-grandparents, grandparents, their own parents and their uncle (my husband) but I doubt that they'd care much about photos of my grandparents and parents or me as a little girl. No one on my family's side to whom to pass those albums along. That's the disadvantage of being an only child from a small family and being the only one left as the years pass.....

I have a printer too, but I am one of the few (and shrinking number).
