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.

How convenient

Assuming I haven’t confabulated the whole thing in my rusty memory, when I was in highschool one of the members of The Loving Spoonfool (you may remember them from sixties hits like Do You Believe In Magic and Summer In The City) told my then fifteen-year old or so girlfriend that the name of their band was a reference to ejaculate volume — and yes, that does make the lyrics to Younger Girl a little creepy. Anyway, when I got this photo, it reminded me of when that happened.
