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.

Mount The Stump


And here we have aloewishes, hanging out in his natural habitat (or at least a fair approximation at the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago, Illinois), scoping out the goods on this big old prehistoric leaf and showing off dots of flesh removal beneath the eyes, two-inch lobes, a two-gauge philtrum, six-gauge nostrils and more. More photos of our hero in the wild, after the jump.

It’s Thursday, ModBloggers—all around, oh all around.

    What is likely creeping you out is a reflection of how odd I feel while being photographed.
    The presence of a camera is unsettling. Such a poweful instrument, such vulnerable moments.
    A robot that records visual data.
    I guess it’s no big deal, really.
    THEY just kind of creep ME out.
    And the “THEY” are the cameras.
    So what you are seeing in my aversion to the camera or in my complacent gaze is intense retrospection, hesitation, toil and conflict, and then, ultimately, surrender.
    And that’s right where my mug meets you.
    Kind of like when you walk into someone’s bedroom unannounced and can just sense they’ve recently masturbated and had a rather powerful orgasm.
    Maybe like a, ” Oh, I really wish you weren’t here right now so I can bask in all the hormonal explosions happening in my body, but oh what the hell, I’m tripping on endorphins and tantric bliss.”

    The first picture reminded me a lot of Ringo Starr playing the mock turtle in the 1985 version of Alice in Wonderland. I like the pictures myself.
