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.

The Clock’s Stopped Ticking.

Wow, just wow.

I almost felt bad watermarking this photo, it’s absolutely breathtaking! Clickthrough to see it in all its glory, I’m going to shush now and stare a little longer. I suggest you do the same.

Lorenzo.

    That has got to hurt, do the hooks ever rip straight through?
    I imagine it would be a pretty disturbing sight.
