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.

In a Coma..

Time always speeds up..

    That’s a toughie — they both work so well in their own ways…

    Funny thing, I’d swear the video in the second goes faster, but really it’s just the effect the music has on how I see it.

    Its funny, as I was watching the first video, the first thing I thought of was the ‘circus’ song.

    Personally though, I think the assembly line song from looney toons would be better. You know the one…where they are processing the babies, and Porky pig is in charge, and Daffy plays the little bastard who fucks everything up…(no way I’m the only man child here)

    I like the circus music more. It’s more fun. 🙂 I was shooting still frames every 3 seconds. Though I know that Sandra likes Tool so she’ll probably vote that way.

    Second song, now where are the tiny cars packed with clowns?

    Cool video though, I’ve had an urge to suspend lately, that really set the craving in.

    I wasn’t shooting with a Video camera. I was shooting with a Digital SLR. Not too many of them can shoot 24-30fps. 🙂
