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.

Smile!

You know, sometimes it’s the little things that can make your day.

Petesquared here just got into a photography program, so to celebrate he got himself a little lettering tattoo on his finger.

    As a photographer, this does indeed make me smile.

    Even if Petersquared is a Canon shooter.
