What do you do after spending a day working a technical conference? Head back to your hotel room for a bath. Sort of. I imagined this image at idle times during the conference, and I wondered what to use for some blood. I didn't want anything that would permanently stain the hotel bathroom floor/walls red. Then, I thought of using chocolate syrup and shooting b&w. Fortunately, there was a 7-eleven across the street. I had imagined more limbs. However, the tub was small and I quickly got tired of pushing the shutter and having 10 seconds to climb into the cramped tub at odd angles each shot. I imagined more "blood" but I didn't want to spend the night trying to clean up the mess. So, this is what I ended up with.

jesus I wish this was mine!
Awesome idea, and execution Mark!! Absolutely love it. The attention to detail-- fabulous!
Reading the backstory cracked me up as I visualized you working to get each frame.....I shoot so many selfp's that I've wondered what I must look like getting into character and position.....but I can only imagine your contortions. haha!
That is definitely some great use of idle conference times! I love how you managed to produce this perfect entry while being away, without access to all your gear and props. Inspirational. Congrats!
As to what the hotel staff may be thinking about the chocolate "help" cries I am not sure. But then I guess hotel staff are used to quite a lot of weird stuff in the rooms :-)
