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.

    Oh wauw. Not my thing most of the time, but that left one really has something that draws me. Left for me, not him.

    And the longer I stare at them, the more I wonder…

    …how could the dude have sat so still for this to be so amazing. I know I couldn’t have stopped twitching if my life had depended on it when the artist went over the lower parts of me foot…and I can’t find a single crooked line in these. Damn 🙂

    His feet swell up sooo much when he got each of those done. He had to wear two different shoes. It was damn funny.
