Topic: Magnetic photo wall on MAKE

[Francois]

Just got this through MAKE this morning.
A PR office in New York has made a magnetic photo wall where they hang a ton of pictures taken with an Instax

Well worth seeing... now I want one too

Beautiful!! I love the way it looks!  And yet, I have to agree with the guy who wrote a comment on the page:

This is so weird... it's like when chef's are
making chicken pot pie and they tell you you need REAL saffron picked by
nuns at three times the price of pure heroin... I usually like artsy
stuff and design stuff... but when I see people wasting
huge sums of money (and screwing with the environment) to create
something, I have to ask WTF? So here ya go: 2 gallons semi-gloss
Olympic Zero Voc paint, battleship grey, 1/2 inch nap roller. 2 rolls of
1/2 inch 3m (30% post consumer waste) MASKING tape to stick the photos
to the wall... Voila, save the planet, save some cash.

What really amazes me is the magnetic paint itself... I never knew such a thing even existed!
