Exactly. That is the sure sign of a bad ass right there. There is no way I could do that. If I get more than two feet off the ground, I start sweating.

Only Matt Osborne YT videos give me the heebie-jeebies.....I tried to watch another of his videos yesterday and I could not do it.

Anything by Joel-Peter Witkin. And that's the whole point of his work, I think. He's a real charmer!
There's a photo in Mark Power's new book "Terre a Lamende" that's both captivating and unsettling to me ... I'll only link to it in case someone doesn't want to see it because it is truly offensive even though it's only a tattoo. It can be seen here: https://www.markpower.co.uk/Photogra...ographs/?id=21
Especially powerful when sequenced within the more banal photos in the book (https://www.markpower.co.uk/Photogra...e-photographs/).

I don't think Lady Annie is wearing heels in the photo. Looks like she's in sneakers and some piece of equipment behind her foot looks like a stiletto heel.
But, no, you wouldn't get me out there with a parachute and safety harness. I get vertigo on a step ladder.

Photographer Charles C. Ebbets taking the iconic Lunch atop a Skyscraper photo.
I suspect he could only achieve this feat if he were so well endowed in the manliness department that his centre of gravity was lower than normally is the case.

Oh wow, Lynn! I haven't watched a sea storm at night for thirty-odd years, and that has put the hairs on the back of my neck right up!

Photographs of dead people can be unnerving for obvious reasons, whether it be 150 y.o. Victorian mementos of the recently deceased or artistic depictions of what Barthes called 'Death is the eidos of photography'. Taking photos of the dead is already intrusive, looking at such photos introduces an extra element of unease by the fact that the photos may be scrutinized at length, almost leisurely, in a way that is dehumanizing even for a person who is no more. With time I 've learned to not look at everything the internet serves, but there are some photos of that sort that are fascinating although clearly disconcerting too -- I am thinking of, for example, Alvarez-Bravo's 'Obrero en huelga, Asesinado', and Enrique Metinides 'Adela Legaretta Rivas, Mexico City, 29/4/1979'.
