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.

    Something about the light or the angle in this photo makes it look like someone off to the left hand side just shot them through his face. Good aim!

    if you hold your hand over the left half of the picture, it looks like someone else has rammed some skewers into his cheek and he’s got his hand up in an “oh my gosh” sort of way.
