Great pictures, do you do your own printing and framing?
This is an 11x14 RA-4 print I made several years back of Mt. Watkins in Yosemite. Shot it with a 75mm lens on a P67ii using Fuji Reala and mounted it in a Nielsen frame using musuem grade OP-3 acrylic from Tap Plastics. I originally hung it in the kitchen but replaced it with a B&W kallitype. I ran across it a couple of weeks ago in storage. The acrylic was very dirty but cleaned-up nicely using Tap's plastic cleaner and rehung it.
Thanks! I use Sherman Gallery on Lincoln in Venice/Marina Del Rey CA for all my framing needs. Excellent work and very reasonable.
Reala looks pretty pixellated....

For the sake of completeness, I went to my bookshelf to find the Weston picture that yours reminded me of. Here’s an iPhone picture of a picture in a book:
Yeah - I took that last night with my Galaxy Tab A7 tablet and it didn't turn out very well. I just shot this with my new Galaxy A13 5G phone and it is much better. Although I seldom, if ever, use the tablet to take photos it does take good photos so I probably got carried away pushing buttons. Forgot to mention printed on Fuji CA using a Jobo.
Reutlingen (Germany) a winter visit early 1990's.

Nice photo.
Yikes. That's one formidable face with about as classic a finish as can be imagined...or feared...especially if it had a cornice hanging over it.

Okay, so mine go up on the wall in a very different way. I'm printing kallitypes this year and I need to put them up to see what works and what doesn't. I got several 30x40-inch metal blackboards and a bunch of tiny magnets, and use them to keep track of what's what. Here's a photo of the board with (mostly) 5x7 test prints. It won't win any awards for presentation, but it's a happy addition to my space all the same.
This is for the local art league’s annual photo show:
Nice print GregY. Looks like the Towers in Torres del Paine NP in Patagonia.
Thank you Tom, It's the Tre Cime di Lavaredo /Cortina Italy / Dolomites
Not exactly on the wall, but in the darkroom I keep a slightly mangled window mat. It's my cheapest accessory, and the one I most enjoy using. Once a print is dry enough and flat enough, I drop the matt over it and get a first taste of what the photo really looks like without distracting clutter. I love that moment.
It's also a stage at which I cull quite a lot. This one was yesterday. Part of a series about livestock farming and trading that I've been accumulating. Sheep are nice things, and this is quite a pleasing print tonally, but it isn't wall-worthy on its own.

When I was printing in silver gelatin, I kept boxes full of prints. (As David Goldfarb can attest, if he is still active here.) When I started printing kallitypes, I ran out of places to prop them up on shelves. And I didn't want to consign them to boxes. So I covered my living room wall with these metal blackboards, and have been posting them all up on the wall. (Except the middle board, which is home to a 32x32-inch silver gelatin print of Poets' Walk I made twenty years ago.) The effect looks a bit compulsive. But it is.
A couple from our landing.
Left is Turin, Italy. Right is San Francisco, USA.
Both shot with Leica IIIf, Elmar 50 3.5. Printed on Fomaspeed RC. Frame is Ikea Ribba.
I have a couple for bigger prints from Hasselblad negatives just opposite, but there's way too much reflection from the glass to get a decent picture.

Courtesy of @VinceInMT, this arrived on Friday (forgive the reflections from the lights, and the idiot taking the picture). We're prepping a better spot for it above a new record player, so for now it holds the second-best place in the house: a spot on the picture rail next to a watercolor painting of our two (now dead) dogs. My wife's aunt painted that as a wedding gift. Thanks, Vince--lovely work!
I do the same thing. It's amazing how placing a print in a mat can completely transform it. Here's one of mine in a similar state...
Here's an untoned salted paper print that I printed 8 years ago and mounted in an 16X13 Nielsen frame with OP3 plexiglass.. The 3 Volume book set with the blue spine seen on top of the bookcase is the Milennium Star Atlas which is now worth $1,000 used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Star_Atlas

Here's some older prints of mine that hang above my computer desk. All are from the early-1980s.
