I was invited to shoot a performance of 'Suspension'.
This was the first time I had witnessed anything like this.
Before anybody queries these images, they are REAL........

Wowsa! I'll have to revisit for a further review but impressive documentation of an unusual hobby!

Now we've seen the catch, can you tell me what sort of fishing rod the fisherman had? :D :D :D

Great shots!

This is a well executed set of images. I just love that third shot where the guy has a ciggy in his hand like he hasn't a care in the world while he hangs there like a carcass in an abbatoir

I wonder how many people in Ausralia do this, and how regularly?

Strange hobby - but good shots. Good treatment.

Tony, he looks more like the bait to me, no wonder they want to ban the use of live bait :lol:
Marty, this is a very good set of images and the way you have portrayed them make it fascinating. Ilove the detail in all of them but the 1st is my favourite.

I'm still baffled why people would do this to themselves. I can't even understand the point of piercings, so fish-hooks have no hope :)

Great set of images. Thanks for presenting them in B&W too.
