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.

    Unless it’s photoshopped, wouldn’t it be a self-portrait inside a portrait?

    I’m ashamed to admit how long I stared at it trying to understand the self-portrait within a self-portrait thing. And then, it hit me: Photoshop! (My other guess was very similar looking sisters…)

    No, it’s not photoshop. and no, we aren’t sisters, like you all think. (:
    just a nice pic that was taken in our vacation. ^^
    yes, it’s confusing [and lots of ppl had been confused XD]. but I’m the girl inside the sunglasses, and Rona is the other one.. 😛
    and, it’s an old pic, 4 months ago, so probably we don’t look the same now (: or maybe yes… 😛
