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.

I’m So Excited! I’m So … Scared


When reached for comment, Zack Morris stood up from the thick leather chair in his study, walked over to the bar, poured himself a glass of Mendis, donned his silk burgundy robe, sat back down, took a sip of the brandy, summoned his hairless cat, Sir Otis von Trippenwind III, petted him gently on the head, shooed him away, picked the phone back up, and, after a deep breath, quietly forced out a throaty “… good,” and hung up promptly.

    I’m a perfectionist and I hate seeing the small errors in my collection. This is a nice example, looked like a perfect tattoo, then I notice that the bottom of the speaker on the phone doesn’t follow the vanishing point 🙁

    My parents had one of the suitcase cell phones… Whenever I had to carry it around, I felt like I was holding the country’s nuclear launch capabilities in my hands.
