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.

    Kinda crudely done, gross and sad. But at least it’s different from the millions of folks who have wings for a back piece.

    I enjoy this if only because I’ve noticed that pigeons (and other birds) enjoy walking even when flying is quicker and more efficient. Without walk, they cannot easily scavenge. Hoorah for walking birds.
