Do you hang up photos in frames at home? Or do you put photos in frames on your desk? What kind of photos would those be?
My mom put up family photos on the wall in our living room. And on my desk, I have only two photos - one when I was 19 when I had a sweet smile on my face and one when I was graduated from college and had that special robe with my dad on the side.
What about you?

I love those antique victorian looking frames, so girly! So yeah I've got lots in my room. On a little table there is a group of pictures of family and friends and the cat, all in different frames and by my bed there's a picture of me and my ex. However in my defense... I just haven't cleaned my room in a while but that picture as well as the dust will be gone this weekend. My mom has a huge picture of me by her bed. We don't have any in the living room but I bought a really very pretty frame to put a picture of my cat in for the living room, lol, she's the baby of the house.

Cute! I don't have very many pictures of me because indeed I don't like looking myself in the pictures, so I always shoot someone/ something else! *laughs* I wish I could have a cat to shoot!

Thanks! LOL, the cat only lets me take her picture when she's feeling generous. She hates the flash so when she sees the camera she closes her eyes or hides her head, lol.

well ,if the photo is beautiful enough,i would like to put it up in frames at home,but if iam not satisfied with the photo,i won't let anyone put it in frames at home or on the desk:) i feel it really lose face
hehe,in my opinion, most of the girls would like taking photos, especially young girls.we all want to show our best figures to other people ,right ?

Indeed, for some reason, I always avoid the camera! I just don't like looking at myself in the photos, I don't know why. Anyway, I have a couple of photos I really like and I would show them off *laughs*.

Since both my husband and I paint pictures and like to display our own work on the walls, there is little wall space for photos, but since my brother and his wife are photographers, we have a collage of their work on one wall and a few personal photos on another. There is a photo of me sitting on the beach at Acapulco that was taken when I was about 24 years old. I like that photo for a number of reasons, but mostly because it was taken when my hair was waist length even in braids, and in this photo I am wearing braids. I have a shirt on over my swimsuit, so the photo is not too revealing. I like that, especially when people come over. Then, too, it is a beautiful shot of the beach with lovely white sand and behind us a nice hotel where we stayed. I don't keep any photos in frames on my desk, but I've loaded many into a screen saver, so they display on my computer from time to time. I also keep a few on my pocket computer. I love to send photos in e-mail and that is why I use IncrediMail. It handles JPEG files beautifully.

Hello wondericequeen, Yes we do put our family photos in frames at home. We put the photos on the shelves in the living room. Mostly photos of our family taken through the years in special occasions like graduations, birthdays, and reunions.
This photos are very special us. It reminds us of the many wonderful memories and achievements we had over the past years and growing up. One of a hobby I am doing is scanning and compiling all this pictures on my computer to preserved it for years to come.
In my room I have also put some picture in frames on my desk. And the rest are in photo albums in the desk drawer. :-)

I post many of my children's and grandchildren's pictures on the walls of our home. The main wall is called "the wall of smiles".

I am a picture fanatic. I have so many pictures and not enough wall space for them all. I also don't have enough frames for them all. My husband says we can go into debt getting frames for all of the pictures that I haven't hung yet:)

I have several pictures on shelves throughout our home, I have two photos of my mom on the desk, I keep current year school photos on the wall in the living room. Then there's my "wall of fame", it's the wall up my staircase, and it's covered from top to bottom, with pictures of our 4 children through the years and a few family photos scattered among them. I love to show off my family, and the kids enjoy showing the wall to friends.

I put photos up at home. I placed those in a frame hanging in the living room and bedroom. The living room has the family portraits, pics of my kids in school with their awards and medals, I also have my graduation pic (just this year) when I graduated from my MBA with a bronze medal attached to it.
The bedroom has pics of my hubby and I when we were just friends.

Well, nothing on the wall so far. Nothing on our desks, either. I guess we're not really big on pics he he he...However, we put some framed family photos on the top shelf above our TV.
Back in my parents' place, though, they hung LOTS of family pics on the walls. You can find them in the living room and in the bedrooms, as well. ;-D
