Using my own art

If you can call the pictures I take art then I guess the title is right.

Most of the photos I take are of people and places but since I've gone digital I've been more open to taking pictures of objects, things, close ups... No wasted prints if you don't want them but still keep them for some reason.
For a few years now I've stored them and catalogued them and I was never really sure why. I never showed those photos to anyone and rarely printed any of them. With the new house we found that the art work we had up (and by art I mean stuff we got at the flea market) just didn't fit in. I started printing off some of my own photos and placed them in frames and they are looking pretty good. We place them in bathrooms and hallways not a main focal area but they have been suiting our needs and look pretty good. I haven't done much editing of the photos but have used some of the effects in Picasa to enhance the photos a bit.



Brians bathroom is a gray colour and I think this orangey red will pop out nicely


Angela's bathroom is a Green apple colour with purple accents and this photo looks great in it.
