THE UPSIDE DOWNY FACE PROJECT
When a quirky photographer wanted to turn the traditional portrait on its head, he decided to take the idea literally and snap people suspended UPSIDE DOWN.
W. Brandon Voges roped in his mates to pose for him, but only if they agreed to be strapped by the ankles to a winch.
The result is a bizarre portfolio of head shots in which the subjects look odd as their features are distorted by gravity and veins bulge in foreheads as the blood rushes to their heads.
Brandon, 33, from St. Louis, Missouri, usually shoots pictures for advertisements, but likes to try out weird projects as a hobby.
Explaining the project he calls Upside Downy Face, he says: "I started thinking of things I could do for an out of the ordinary portrait. Hanging people upside down and showing them right side up came to mind.
"I really liked the idea of having portraits that the viewer would look at and not immediately know what was "off" about it, just that something wasn't right, and have them try to figure it out. Some are more obvious than others."
Brandon asked friends and colleagues to volunteer to be hooked onto a 1/2 ton remote winch secured to the ceiling of his studio.
He says: "I sent out an email to friends and colleagues explaining what I intended on doing, and asked if anyone was interested in coming in to be a part of it. I was surprised how many people were interested in helping out, or passing the information along to others.
"One of the interesting things was how quickly people became comfortable. At first, everyone was very timid upside down off the floor, but once they realised it was safe, I heard "Ahhh, this feels great on my back" quite a few times.

Goose flies upside down in strong winds at Strumphaw, Norfolk, Britain - May 2009
A photographer has captured an amazing picture of a greylag goose flying upside down. The picture shows an incredible display of mid-flight acrobatics as the bird was buffeted by strong winds at Strumphaw in Norfolk. In it the goose is seen flying flipped upside down with its head the right way up. Though it looks bizarre the manoeuvre, called 'whiffling', is actually a tried and trusted way of breaking. As geese prepare to land they begin to twist and turn in order to spill air from their wings and slow down the speed and height of their approach.

A young man stretching his body by hanging upside down after practising lifting weights in the gym, Shilong is the home of China's weightlifters with more than 29 world weightlifting records and 22 world champion lifters coming from the town.
Shilong Sports School, Shilong, China - 05 Jul 2008
LIFTING FOR GOLD AT CHINA'S SPORTS ACADEMIES
A town in south China is the centre of weight lifting for the country's vast sports training machine - a machine that is aimed solely at transforming children into Olympic champions. In total, 22 world championship gold medals and four Olympic medals have come out of the Shilong Sports School in Guangdong province. As Richard Jones discovered, many of the children in these kinds of Olympic medal factories aim to become rich but, in reality, most will end in poverty.
Liu Kai Long steps up to the bar. Unblinking, staring straight ahead he grunts and screams. In one swift movement 120 kilos, double his body-weight, is thrown over his head. "Stop your screaming," shouts his coach, "it wastes your energy." At just fifteen years of age Long is one of the next generations of "champions" according to head coach Lai Run Ming.
Coach Ming should know, he won a silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles games and a bronze four years later in Seoul. He spends every day watching his young charges, perfecting their technique and building up their bodies.
During his intensive two and a half hour training session with Long, Coach Ming urges the teenager to lift more than 40 tones. For 30 minutes, sweat poring from his grimacing face, Long practices power lifting, during which lifts up to 240 kilos a time. For a further hour he then perfects his technique of the "snatch" and the "clean and jerk". His only break is a short opportunity to wander off to get some sugary water. "I just want to win. My tr...
