Capturing the Life of BioMech

As we split up individually, I chose to stick with BioMech. Despite the long hours and work that Ive spent on this building already, I feel like I can connect to BioMech, and not The Shops at Buffalo Creek. Thinking about the Mill and the way we designed it, there are 3 points that I feel should be integrated into any store that is placed in it. 
-Machanics
-Life
-Fabric (or at least the idea of weaving)

I decided that the best product to reflect BioMech is the camera and its film. The film reels mimic the gear system that is the central focus of the building. I imagine a display window in which the reels act as gears, with the film itself running through them like the fabric that runs through the gear system. While BioMech is Mechanics moving life, my camera store will be capturing life through mechanics

but how do I display the right thing?
what products will I sell?
-manual?
-digital?
-both?
-film...definitely
-photographs?
       -Jami told me about someone she knows that takes pictures, then paints them. Neat idea...

There are several different aspects that I still need to narrow down, but seeing as this is the first day, I feel like Im going in the right direction. Feedback? Anyone?

As we talked about yesterday I think there is a lot of potential in this idea...if looked at from a variety of angles. Please add photos as soon as you can and since you already have some design ideas....why not get some sketches down on paper and up onto your blog. This way you can see how well they work and move forward...
