That black and white Senna picture is fantastic! Where did you find that from?Is getting your own photography printed and framed expensive? Last time I went to a framer shop, they wanted £30 to mount and frame! I've got a few photos I want printed and framed for my hallway and bedrooms.
I use a few different places for the canvas printing, but usually Jessops. The big print of Hamilton in the hall was printed by Youframe on a Groupon thing. Although the quality of the print is good, I won't be using Groupon or Youframe again! It took months to arrive.
The stuff i have, nowt special but i like it
Above the telly in the front room is my beatles picture
Wall across from the window
Me, my Mrs and our bunnys
wall across from the TV
Near the light switch - these are just desktop wallpapers i printed off and put in small frames
In the kitchen i have these posters from theoatmeal.com - I know they are not level but i am still finishing the decorating so i put them up to see what they look like
Looking up the stairs - generic flower pics
The small pics at the top of the stairs are again just desktop backgrounds

Just one of Bruce Lee and 2 stamp pictures, a 911 with car stamps and a warship with boat stamps.
I did have a number of prints done of photos I have taken at the hillclimb.
They are not mounted or on the wall at all.
Had some 20"x30" and a 30"x45" one as well. They are a bit massive and awkward to handle.
Some of the panoramic photos would look nice in a set though.
A couple of prints of my Aunts silk painting on the walls downstairs as well. As well as a painting of ex rugby captain Martin Johnston, signed by MJ as well i believe.

How about this offering,
I attended a North London PH meet some time ago and promised to take some pictures of my son around the cars for his Gran.
Stick with me here, I took these photo's but one stood out so i played with it in MS Paint and came up with the bottom picture for her Christmas pressie.
Cropped into this
Black and white comic style
Eyes picked out in different colours
Copied into A3 arranged as a set 4 in a A0 simple frame.
She loved it.

The first one is really pretty, I like that.
We have a few bits, a couple of Louise Brathwaite prints and my other half would like to commission her to do our wedding at some point. An original of McQueen from Bullett by an artist I met through selling a gallery in Southampton and feel in love with the painting, a pop art style canvas. We have a Mark Demsteader pencil sketch which was a treat to myself, my other half is not such a fan, she thinks it's a it haunting, but I really like his studies. Various small more traditional hunting scenes etc, necessary in an old house! Will have to take some photos. Would really like an original Ian Falkner next...

They've been good, the subwoofer was junk though, replaced twice and now replaced with a Cambridge Audio number
