Print review space tip

[intheviewfinder]

I love prints. I get tired of seeing them on a screen. I just love the tactile feel of the paper. I print many of my photos, especially to understand the qualities of the image better. I use to have a large area of a wall in my office covered in cork tiles. Last year I discovered Rust-Oleum magnetic latex paint. I removed the old cork tiles. Then I painted a 4' tall by 6'-8" wide portion of a wall in my home office with this paint. I use rare earth magnets to hang the images. This space comes in real handy, and I don't end up with tack holes in the prints.


Just for scale the large prints you see are 12x18 sheets with a 10x15 images, 10x13 sheets with a 8x12 images, and then there's a host of twenty 4x6 prints (These are my candidates for the RFF Postcard Project - only one will be selected).

Rich, what an inspiration!
Really cool (and nice photos too).
What does a rare earth magnet do that ordinary magnet don't?

I wonder how I missed this response? umpf? In any case, it was recommended and when I tried a regular magnet it did not work as well.
