There are some photos of my display last year here (http://ami-b.livejournal.com/225604.html#cutid1). I think my display requirements are a little different from yours - I had to arrange things such that the light could shine through everything unobstructed - but here are some thoughts...

* depending on how sturdy your tent is, you could buy long chains (you know those chains they hang in pairs in art galleries to hang stuff from?) and hang them from the top rail of the tent; you can then hang your photos from S-hooks on the chains.

* check out the suggested display at www.artinfoboy.org (under FAQ I think? They have a link called "How can I display my paintings?") - materials for which are nice and cheap, a definite bonus. Alternatively, hang panels of the concrete mesh (or another heavy gauge wire fence-type thing) from the top rail of the tent. Use S-hooks to create hangers for your photos.

* you could try Zellers or Ikea (more expensive than Zellers) to see if they have garment racks, which are excellently portable and would be good for hanging chains from. They're a little wobbly on a grass surface, though; I anchored mine down with 9" nails.

* you could forego the hanging stuff option entirely and set up a table or two for photos to stand on. You can set up some heavy boxes or something under a tablecloth to create risers and vary the height of photos...or, for that matter, prop the photos up against said risers.

Hope this helps!
