A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Two Points, One Calf


This horrific, poop-covered beautiful landscape shot featuring Mike hanging, indeed, from two hooks in his calf, comes of courtesy of the wizards at Swastika Freakshop in Radolfzell, Germany, who literally cannot get out of goddamned bed without creating something visually stunning.

(More from Swastika Freakshop on ModBlog here, including this previously featured and equally gorgeous suspension shot.)

    So, I think your photograph is boring and trite. And? Does it really hurt your feelings that I think that?

    And for the rest of you who’ve mistaken my opinion for an assault on your taste in photographs, that’s not at all what it is.

    And honestly, if you’re the sort of person for whom the criticism of others is a problem, then I suggest you never, ever pick up a camera. Or anything else actually.

    Really its probably best if you just drink the hemlock now. Then at least you might collapse into some kind of artsy position by mistake.

    “If the above photograph is beautiful in *most* peoples eyes”

    #22: So, throw the picture up on flickr, and stick it into one of the very high traffic groups, and lets just see what “most people” think, shall we?

    Or were you just talking about most people with tattoos and piercings in this specific scene? Somehow I think that’s a smaller group.

    You can go ahead and do that if you wish. But I was talking about this community. If i didn’t make that clear, i am sorry. Do i have to justify each point i make to such a high extent that it can not possibly be intrepreted as something else? Quite impossible if you ask me.

    Oh and i have a name, not a number.

    In these blog comments… people who don’t know yttrx. Hell, I don’t know him but I know what to expect when he posts.

    I see I’m the only poster to comment on the 2 girls, 1 cup play on words.

    That countryside looks like Yorkshire :). I need to suspend soon, sadly missed out on lefrog’s one in Huddersfield which I could’ve got to for a reasonable price.
