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.

    …seriously? If that might be the lamest comment I’ve ever read on modblog.

    Last time I was featured on here I got an e-mail from some chick asking for a better picture of my tattoo so she could use the design. I’m pretty sure modblog is designed to showcase talent, not give people ideas to steal.
