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.

That’s not a big septum, THIS is a big septum

The last time I posted a picture of Babasom I was so impressed with his big septum/mustache combo that I completely neglected to post a picture of his handsome face.  Thankfully, he’s not camera shy and has sent in another round of photos.  Taking a look back over the years it’s easy to see why Babasom has been posted so many times; he’s just super photogenic and is always coming up with new things to stick in his nose.  This time is no different.

You can check out more photos of Babasom in the big septum gallery, or on his IAM page where he’s put up a couple of collages.

    I know it took me a really long time to figure out.
    Its a spoon and a paintbrush, it looks like one thing, but if you look closer you can see the green of the paintbrush handle behind.

    Tia is right, it’s definitely 2 objects, a spoon and a paintbrush. Although after seeing some of the other stuff he’s put through his nose, I wouldn’t put it past him to be able to fit the brush or spoon.

    Haha… I also thought that it was a ladle with a brush on the other side and wondered how he got it in there. Awesome. Way to go, man! (And a long way to go for my own Septum…)
