+1! It would be super cool to have a wall of photographs of our community members with names so others can easily match names only ever seen on a mailing list with real meatspace entities. > > I invite everybody to contribute to the display wall with prints, > photographs, and framed artwork that is appropriate to the philosophy, > purpose, and mission of SH.

Becca and I decided that we'd like to paint some arrowish line things on the wall, akin to this: http://www.lighttape.co.uk/graphic23/subway-egress.jpg Except a number of them that are different colors pointing to different locations in the space at chest or eye level. I think it'd be neat to use whiteboard or chalkboard paint on small sections of them for easy relabeling in the future. As long as they're just frames that are getting hung like a normal frame, I don't think it'll get in the way much with some more painting on that wall :) > > BTW, I will be providing the prints, frames, and photos that I plan to hang > on the wall at my expense. > > Philip _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
