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.

    As long as he’s posin’ it seems he’d brush that Venti Frappuccino off his tongue, don’t it? Ah. Probably just a quick shot between innings at the company softball game. Amazing that it healed so well. Keep it up!
