What I am trying to do is eliminate all influences of light except that which comes through the window.

Obviously the room will, because of whatever reflective quality it has, affect the shadow side of the subject. This is what I'm trying to find out. If we can establish the base known attributes, such as strength of the light source, and amount of ambient light (shadow quality), then we can devise a plan to modify either of those factors if need be.

With the white sheet being so near and so prevalent in the background, the outcome is altered substantially. We may at some point bring something like this to bear, but first I would like to understand our two basic components, namely, the lit side and the shadow side, without influence.

And tomorrow is just fine, don't ever feel like you have to rush.
