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.

Unintentionally Amusing Photograph

With all due apologies, I got a chuckle out of this “caught in the act” photo of Archetype‘s pulling (just after the hooks came out)… The look on John‘s face is priceless!

    oh god. where did you find that. oh wait, it was on the mancore forum wasnt it…. before you kids start complaining about the sterility of all this you should know that this photo was taken during the clean down, and that everything was done in an environment that was sterille enough to satisfy my proffesional standards and the standards of the consenting adults that took part.

    ‘And i know sacrafice’ is spelled wrong on that box.

    Anyway, its not as bad as the other candid photo of me on modblog!—>
