[papercreters] did anyone shoot any film at the gathering?



Did anyone shoot any film while at the gathering?  My reason for asking is I'm working in a new photographic craft for me, Bromoil (see this link for an example of my most recent work:  Avila Beach Promenade) and I'd like to offer making a Bromoil print which can be used to memorialize the event, but this must start as a photographic negative, not a digital image.  Perhaps someone can figure out how that can benefit the group.  I would donate this to papercreters Yahoo group.  Bromoil is a revival art form that originated in the 1800's.  It uses inks, hand laid with brushes.  Inks adhere to areas of prints that were darkened by the silver gelatin.  The silver gets bleached and tanned.  Tanned portions accept inks.  It's a very unique artform, and takes a normal photograph and makes it appear real old-timey, not to mention that it also makes a print that will last as long as the paper it is on as inks do not fade (but silver gelatin might if not toned in selenium, which is a poison).
