The Aerialists

The First Visit

Tucked away in a sleepy neighborhood west of Boston, behind a warehouse, in another warehouse, Simply Circus and the wonderful and kindred spirit Meggie, a former co-worker of mine, back when I was a teacher. We had spoken about this for over a year now, but timing is always so tricky. I won't let timing be so tricky again.

I immediately knew I had to photograph this, and more, and better. I have to learn these moves, understand the artistry, anticipate the moments, be challenged by movement. These women are birds. They are strong and creative, daring and fun. These images are just the start. They are proof of the beginning of something that feels big and so, so exciting.
