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.

In The Red


Sure, he’s got long, dark, flowing locks, and bedroom eyes, and is in tremendous shape, and has a well executed, complex and interesting Ulver-inspired chest tattoo, but, uh … hey, look at that stupid doorknob! You can’t even see all of it! Ha ha, geez, worst picture ever.

(Tattoo by Chris Van R. at Sacred Heart Tattoo in Vancouver, British Columbia.)

    Hmmm, note to self, next time I take a self-portrait, remember that the door knob is the most important.
