Yes
Or your favourite photos. How do you do it?

I have an obscure space in my apartment that I'm thinking of making a photo wall but wondered if anyone had done anything creative to display their favourite images?
 
I have a few canvases around the house, then a few prints also
 
I've got a nice sized digital photo frame on my wall but I still have a few prints on the wall as well. I did a set of my fingerprints with my 100L macro and have them printed and framed.
 
Cut a groove in a length of 50 x 50mm wood. Screw the wood to the wall as a picture shelf. The groove will locate the bottom edges of the mounted / framed pictures & stop them slipping. For framing, clip frames can be found quite cheaply, even with real glass. Maybe have another shelf 600mm above the first, etc.

You can change the pictures round whenever you feel like it.
 
If you have some nice shots you're proud of then show them at their best, get them framed or printed on a good quality canvas, nothing kills a decent photo more than poor presentation

I have a few photos dotted about, mainly small prints in multi-photo frames - none of my favourites so far though, just photos taken of the family.

I'd love to do the above though - I'm growing to love nice framed prints over canvas.
 
Sulking in a hard drive.

I like the fact that people have bought my images and the thought that there are various products on people's walls.

For me - I'm usually fed up to the back teeth with a particular image once I've been fiddling with it for 10 mins or so.

Ikea do a load of cheap and cheerful picture rails for exactly that purpose. At my old house I ran two long rows of them and mixed and matched a load of different frames, people were always impressed. After a while it would encourage me to get some new ones printed.
