Yeah that is a great idea the Photojojo magnetic photo rope could be your solution. If I could just find those little silver magnets I would be doing it. Simple things are the the best. I think the magnets are the only real expense for that but I am sure I could do it for $8.

Super idea... Instead of board, I plan to use cardboard covered in brown paper bags. I make notebooks from these materials and it has a nice finish. Instead of a clip, I plan to use paper photo corners.

That's a really cool idea, and easy to boot.
A great spin off on this would be a non-permanent installation for xmas cards. Don't know exactly how the execution would go, but it would be a cool way to show all the cards you get and don't know where to put... hmm...

Weight in more ways than one. I wouldn't try to span too much more than 8 feet and hold more than 7 boards across it unless you really are screwed into some solid wood or concrete. That is one more consideration for doing just the clips, they are so much lighter.
Bruno: All those photos are mine but, I would have people look at flickr if they want to see some great stuff. Try flickr explore and look for photos with creative commons licenses that allow for personal use.

Hey Ben, sweet idea! I'm definitely going to have to try this one. Are the photos all yours? Where would you recommend people look for cool pictures to use if they don't have their own?

this is a really awesome idea. i work at a university and we have a display area in the hallway near the admissions office where i want to do this and post various campus images as well as polaroids of potential students who are visiting campus. i was just going to use wire and clips, but i like the way the wood gives it some extra emphasis and weight.

Another cool (less easy) way to cover a wall: use Post-it notes!
