Have you ever bought a photo from another photog to hang on your wall?

Not from a gallery, but from a place like this where you see their work or their website and you think "I gotta have a copy of that".

Sure have. I just started shooting drag racing from the starting line this year, the stuff up in the pro's shop is just incredible and I have a few up on my wall

Not yet... there are a few of mine that need hanging before I start looking elsewhere!

yupe,

this and many others from the same photographer, who is also a friend that goes to my college

This is the only pro photo that I ever bought. It is from 1995, me and Carroll Shelby.

I usually prefer my photos in books. On walls they get faded and start tearing and corners fold up. Having it printed large also reveals the limitations of the medium used. By that I mean even the occasional photo in Moments looks a bit grainy because of how big it's been printed (prime example being "Soiling of Old Glory").

Wow, what an experience to meet him in the flesh... I'm envious!
I have seen many photos and thought, Man that's incredible I must have it, and looked at my bank account and there has never been enough... lol.
I do get those urges but never surcummed to them.

Edit: Actually, I have got many Street Machine posters up, a few of my Mum's old paintings, and One poster I purchased from the US of a Mustang.

fubarhouse, I agree since he made cars I want so very badly but can't afford them LOL.

I have however bought a calender for $7 off someone on here cause he was trying to get rid of them so though i'd help out. Its beautiful landscape pictures from places in the USA. www.holzking.net it says on the calander.

photoguy6405,
I have no room left over to hang anyone's photo on my walls, as they are full of my photos

Me, too.

Photo Books - not manuals or guides

no just have my own for now. unless you count wildlife art print then yes.

I bought a large framed print for my parents wall as a gift to them.

I do have some of mine that I plan to put up, but I would love to buy some work of some other aspiring photogs to put up too. I have some prints for sale, and I feel if someone would by mine I should certainly buy the work of others, if I like their work.
