I post a lot of photos online but I haven’t really printed that many in the past year because I didn’t have a good way of putting them up. I didn’t want to just tape them up and framing each one would get really expensive and take up a lot of wall space that I don’t have. Plus, I want to change them on a regular basis so they need to be semi-permanent. The other day I was watching a documentary on James Nachtwey and they were showing him reviewing some of his photos. What he does is he puts them up on this huge grey metal board using magnets. It was perfect! That weekend I went down to Ikea and bought a bunch of metal boards to put up over my bed and by my computer. I also bought some awesome cube magnets that are about 1/8″ on each side but they’re ridiculously strong. So, here are the results:

The 4 metal boards over my bed

One metal board by my computer.

Close up of a magnet. It’s in the corner of the sepia photo in the lower right corner in the photo above.

Large prints are awesome. I wish I had more wall space.
