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.

Hast Du etwas Zeit fuer mich?

I love this balloon-play piercing photo from my old friend Roberta Lima. The photo is by Susann Rezniczek and the piercing by Miriam Meadows. In memorium.

    “Du” doesn’t need to be capitalized >__>

    I thought you said you spoke primarily German at home as a child?

    Anyway, love the reference, sorry to be nit-picky.

    Neonsunshine – I’m not sure that speaking German as a child would make me an expert on capitaliztion. However, in the lyrics to the song that I’ve seen, both “Du” and “Dich” are capitalized, so I assume it was a conscious decision by the author.
