Death By . . .

I've been looking at Bill Thomas's Suicide photos and I'm beginning to really enjoy them. His Rube Goldberg way of killing himself is genius. I found one where he used a snorkel and I about died. Although I would love to create scenarios that resemble these I don't believe I could put myself in harms way the way he does. Or maybe I could if I had someone else there with me to dial 911 if something went wrong, we'll see. Thomas is also more spread out with his ideas, using different settings. I would still like to stay in my home setting even though it limits me on resources. There are still places I have yet to use such as the kitchen, living room . . etc. Using my home gives me a more controlled space.

I'm a bit wary about using other people still. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using myself. It's just that when I use myself I get the results I want when it comes to expression and posing. I also have a connection to the subject matter like Bill Thomas where others may not and I don't want to use more of my time to find those people who do.

The Bunny Suicides, though funny, are a bit too unrealistic for me.

My list of possible ways to off myself . . .

Death By: Electrocution
Cut Wrists
Gas / Helium ( past idea, not sure if it would work)

I could reshoot the pill overdose image but I don't want to touch those things again. I might actually gag on the sugar the second time around. All for now, more later.
