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.

Penny Farthing Scar, Muttonchops and all!

Mide sent in this great photo of his fresh penny farthing cutting (Phil says: “did you notice he even has a great moustache?”) done by the always brilliant Wayde Dunn (WaydeDunn.com).
