You fill the spaces in my mind

Just a short post with a variety of shot i had my friend take of me in the bath itself to gather evidence of how the space works and possible angles to shoot from, as well as how subjects appear in terms of light and space, whether it is appropriate and how i can use the bath to it's full potential.
The attire is minimal whilst avoiding being 'risque'. I did consider nudity but i don't want the work to be unnecessarily crude so i am currently thinking of neutral underwear, very Vanessa Beecroft, but this would enhance the clinical aesthetic as well as showing any cuts and scratches from the sandpaper.
I may also wear a mask as to consider anonymity, not so much because i do not want to be known but because i want this concept to apply universally rather than appear self involved. I know too well i'd have to be careful with this to avoid it appearing clown like, and cheap.

Again these are very basically edited however this time i have desaturated them and then enhanced the contrast to an unrealistic level. This comes still appears clinical however it gives a little more deapth while i do not have better lighting. I do quite like the grainy quality the contrast creates. Planning on seeing how this works with lighting.
I am dreading printing these things off though as Photoshop is being a *&^t and will not let me create contact sheets :c Damn Adobe for not creating the correct program for Snow leopard. Tits.
I only have 3 weeks left and i'm freaking out. I have no idea how i am going to get this all done.
A filmed performance, developments, illustrations, a book containing the illustrations and photographs of the performance and research..... and a 500 word rationale which no doubt i will forget to do. FECK!
I have more than enough time, as we did last year so why not now? If only i could procrastinate less and get my engine revving faster. No matter how close the deadline appears i still manage to waste time :c

Oh  buggery!!!
