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 enjoyed reading your IAM page.
    I’m also home-schooled and seem to feel the same way that you do… in most of the things you were writing about.
    Anyway, big ups to your picture being on BME modblog.
