I am interested in how people here use their photographs for their personal use. Obviously a lot of people here shoot lots of pictures for non-commercial reasons. What do you do with yours?

In my case, they are most often shown to others on my 50" TV. All the recent flat screens seem to have USB ports on the back. My pictures are in one of several folders, and the TV controller lets me select the appropriate folder and then put the pictures up on screen. The arrows on the controller advance or back up through the sequence. In some cases, such as a vacation trip, the sequence is important - other shots - no. In any case, this surely beats the old days of the Kodak Carousel! Not to mention having to set up a screen and darkening the room.

I have had a few of my best photos mounted on a 1/4" board. The prints are flush mounted 8X10" and the quality is very good. I order them on line from Costco; they are considerably cheaper than any other on-line source I have found.

A few family photos are printed normally, usually at Wal-Mart, and mounted in conventional frames.

Pretty boring and plain vanilla, right? If this subject has already been beaten to death before I became a regular, I do apologize. I would appreciate knowing what others do.

Cheers

Never aspired to any commercial goals, so all is non Below is a shot of my "critter wall" - with a live critter supervising. I live in a small apt and this group of frames stays as-is, with the mats also, and I just swap out pics as the mood strikes. If you're on a budget, you might be interested to know that all the picture frames and two of the mirrors came from thrift stores.

#2 - an old window frame was nearly perfect size for a 20x30 poster (still less than $10 to print at Costco, I believe).

With my first dslr I had 4x6's printed of nearly everything I shot. Since much of that was flowers, I eventually gave the bulk to senior citizen centers and nursing homes for their use in craft or card making.
