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.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


This pleasant, summery photo from the shores of White Rock Beach in British Columbia comes from Russ Foxx, and is presented as a gift (or perhaps a taunt?) to all those who are in a climate that is currently being pummeled by winter’s dreaded hammerfists. Seems plenty warm in that photo, though. Must be nice.

    i’d love to see some creative photography with suspencion. something where not only is the suspension unique but the photo demanding of the unordinary point and shoot.

    perhaps some lighting techniques or perhaps some multi exposure or perhaps something a digital camera can’t do. anything is possible.

    I’m cold just looking at them. The idea of wearing that little clothing (outside) right now is down right unthinkable.

    I’m pretty sure this isn’t a recent photo, and probably wasn’t taken in December… that is Dirk suspending is it not? Well he has his whole stomach tattooed for a while now and it is clearly missing from this picture.

    well seeing as how it has been no warmer than 12 C for the past 2 months im willing to say this isn’t recent.

    I’m pretty sure this photo is old. Like from 07? It’s a summertime tease since that was when it was taken.

    #11 – it’s been hella warm here in Vancouver lately. I haven’t even needed to wear a jacket most days, a light flannel has been treating me just fine, day or night.
