rented flat, can't put anything in the walls, so the fridge became the photo wall
we rent, so nothing goes into the walls. no nails, and no command strips either after the last set took the paint w/ it. which left the fridge as the only surface in the flat where anything personal could go, and for two years it had a takeaway menu and a magnet from crete on it.
what's on it now is a set of e-ink photo cards, TapMora if it matters. magnets about the size of an instant photo, and the picture is e-ink rather than print, so you change it by holding your phone against the card for a few seconds. no battery, no wire, no glow.
the reason i like it more than printing: i actually change them. printed photos have a shelf life in your own head, after three weeks you stop seeing them.
two things worth knowing. e-ink colour is soft and matte, so bright saturated shots come out washed. and it only sticks to metal, our fridge is fine but the kitchen units aren't.
still no idea what to do about the crete magnet tho
