“Old Main” (Santa Fe, NM) Prison Suspension

Outside of the fact that the folks from Ascension Suspension have some of the best performers in America, they also get some of the best locations. They recently did a photoshoot at the “Old Main” Prison in Santa Fe, NM, which was closed in 1999 and was the site of one of America’s most violent prison riots. *Stitch* suspended from a rope between the railings of the second tier in one of the cellblocks, and Kasja hung from a catwalk over the “Sally Port” (where buses and trucks enter and exit the prison), and they took their staff photos in the gas chamber.

There are more photos after the break that Steve Truitt took, and hopefully in the future I’ll post an entry with some of the pro photos as well.

GAME Suspension Scene Outtakes

This is far from the first time that the folks from Ascension Suspension have done a movie appearance, but Steve just wrote me with some teaser shots from the work they did with the team from Game, a dystopian movie about future MMPOG environments gone wrong.

In the photos, as well as Kasja, *Stitch*, and _Stigmata_, are Efrain Ramirez (Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite), Brian Taylor (the bald guy — the director), and Gerard Butler (who you probably know better from 300). The shoot went well, so fingers crossed that as well as the scene in the movie, we’ll get to see the footage in the DVD extras in 2009/2010.

Almost healed

Steve Truitt (Stay Gold, Albuquerque, NM — but given how regularly he’s featured here I’m sure you know that by now!) has been slowly sculpting *Stitch* (this piece was posted fresh as well) into a scarified dreamgirl. Seriously, the number of gorgeous people, male and female, who are now choosing scarification as their dominant personal artform grows all the time… I love it!
