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.

Suspending at the Fort

Mr. Fucking Williams (who’s been featured himself) took this nice shot of Miyagi suspending with Rites of Passage at the fort in Rhode Island. Click through for a great picture of him cutting himself down.

    I’ve been thinking of suspending for a long time now and I always love seeing photo’s like this, where the person suspending looks so calm and serene…also outdoor suspensions look beautiful.
