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.

    Yea, but the equation is incorrect for all but rest energy. The left hand side of the equation must be divided by the square root of (1-v^2/c^2). I recommend making another appointment to fix this error.

    Thanks everyone! This was a lot of fun, and he sat so well for this. We had a few different design ideas, but he really liked the look of this one. And yes, his shoulders are very well defined…he’s built like a brick shithouse…it was difficult to apply the stencil there because of how thin, yet defined he was.
