I don't know how everyone else is but I don't have many pictures of people in my house. Everyone else in my family has pictures of people all over their house and I have about 4 small ones. The other pictures are paintings. I don't even carry pics of my kids. I talk more about them which I find more interesting than a picture anyway. I don't hate people and I do take pics and have albums but never felt motivated to put more up.

I have a lot of photos of my family members, but I mostly keep them hidden away in a small album. I prefer to decorate my room with pictures of my special interests.

Not that I don't love my family members, or that I care about my interests more than them - far from it - it's just that I get to see them every day, and I've always felt comforted by looking at pictures of my special interests, so I like to surround myself with them.

I don't have any pictures of myself or family members, digital or otherwise.

I have posters of karate masters on my walls, two photos of my older sisters holding me as a baby, one of my my three best friends and me.... and a giant filing cabinet full of photos of my boyfriend.

It's sick really. I swear I'm not stalking him or anything.

I have many photos of people in my house considering we don't have many photos.

I'd rather tell stories about the people in my life than show pictures of them.

I have none either.

I always felt uncomfortable with putting photos up. A painting you really love I can understand, but not photos.

I don't have many; I just kept the ones of my grandparents, and a couple of other relatives out on display from when my mother was living, and put them there. All the rest are very important to me, and I keep them in a firesafe. I wouldn't notice them if I had them all sitting around, and they'd just be another housekeeping headache, I think. Bare surfaces and sparse furniture is my way.

I have pictures of my special interests in my walls, but not pictures of people that I know. I like to surround myself with my special interests. They add richness to my personality and my life.

Until our nephew was born, the only photo we had on our wall was a wedding photo. These days, we have a photo of each of our nieces and nephews, 4 of our daughter and the same wedding photo. They're not really there for us at all (except for the ones of our daughter), more for visitors.
