Photography / Wall art
So I'm looking for some art that I would want to hang up on our walls of our new home. I like b&w photography, but most of the ones I saw at art.com I didn't like.
I do like the b&w and the color photography here:

but the prices are a little expensive! At least $100 for the smallest size pic.
I was wondering if anyone (like Nicole) - and I think I remember others here are photography buffs - takes pictures of landscapes or still-life type pictures. One that I really liked, as an example, was this one:
http://www.artthatfits.com/art/EnlargePage.aspx?ImageId=396973
(dang, I don't know how to PIP anymore, the old way I used to do it doesn't work)
Would anyone be willing to show me some of their pics, and possibly sell one to me? I think the image would have to be taken from a camera with 10 or 12 megapixels at least so I can enlarge it.
Or does anyone know any good sites for cheaper art or photography?
On a sidenote, Amy Butler has some amazing wall art that she sells at that site! So pretty!

Newlyweds since 2007
Not sure if this would work for you, but here is what we did. I took pics that our photographer from our wedding took with some scenery. I then cropped them really close....like some lanterns with palm trees, or closeup of a starfish (but cropped, so it looks a little abstract). I then converted them to black and white through photoshop, and then had them printed at 12" x 12" at Costco. Framed them in big black square frames with a large white matte. Cheap art that is also personal, but doesn't scream wedding pictures!
