Responsive grid of hexagons

Question

I loaded in multiple images on my website from the internet. Is it possible to give all those images an hexagon shape in a responsive grid?

Demo

HTML:

SASS (with Compass):

$width: 400px;
$fillColor: #CCC;
$height: $width*sin(60deg);
.hexagon {
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
  width: $width;
}
.hexagon:before, .hexagon:after {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  width: 50%;
  border: 0 solid transparent;
}
.hexagon:before {
  border-bottom-color: $fillColor;
  border-width: 0 $width/4 $height/2;
}
.hexagon:after {
  border-top-color: $fillColor;
  border-width: $height/2 $width/4 0;
}
.hexagon > .contents {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0; bottom: 0;
  left: 25%; right: 25%; 
}

Then, if you want to place an image in the hexagon, inside .contents use

and, for example, style it like this:

#myimg {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0; bottom: 0;
  left: 0; right: 0; 
  margin: auto;
  width: 50%;
}
