BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

Jordan Ginsberg


I’ve gotta be honest: I don’t think that apple’s going to be any good to eat.

    well the bigger apple in her hand looks almost a definate photoshop. and the one in her plug has the same shading, just slightly darker. and surely if it wasn’t photoshopped, the other plug would be matching – i don’t see no white in the slightest in it. still an amazing photo
