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.

Her Hoodie Matches Her Tattoos

I just liked these portraits (two more are after the break) of Tasha taken while she was on vacation in the Dominican Republic… It made me miss the Caribbean… I just got an email about an earthship building seminar in the Netherlands Antilles this summer, and as much as I imagine that spending a week sledgehammering in the sun is kind of miserable, I’d love to go.

Anyway, an update is building right now that has some changes that I think will make the members galleries load a hair faster for viewers (and I’m glad people seem to be enjoying the ability to contact each other via their photos), although it now takes longer to build them here! I’ll upload it as soon as I can.
