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.

It’s like I can’t resist or something

I swear that when I’m processing the picture (and I’m a total sucker for resurrection suspension in general), in the case of many of the people who tend to repeat here, if their face or a tattoo I remember isn’t in the photo, I am unaware who it is until I get to writing the entry (at which point I look at the email itself)… Namesofthedead, photo by Magician, facilitated by Constant Elevation at House of Wah in London, UK.

    Sometimes I think that’s the only reason Shannon post so much, just to see how many different ways he can throw the ModBlog tag in there. Haha.

    But I love this pic though.
