I used to be an aerial dancer. This was my last performance in late 2016. I did this for more than a decade so it was an integral part of my identity. Because of various injuries I stopped doing it (last time was 2017), but I am back in an area where I was a part of a big aerial community and it draws me again. But after having broken 7 ribs when I fell in a dry moat 3 years ago, I don't think my body can take it anymore. But still, in a way, I yearn for that part of me. I tend to define myself by what I do, and iIf you take that away, then I'm not sure who I am. I incessantly have many hobbies that come and go. But least I will always be a photographer. Someone who captures time.

Aw, thanks, Zach! Sorry they were so expensive. Someone pushed up the price dramatically. I was thinking I'd be a penny stock. LOL Yes, I used to do aerial silks and that's awesome that your daughter is doing it now. It didn't exist when I was a child, but I was a gymnast and a ballet dancer. I actually started with trapeze (flying and dance) and then decided I preferred the silks.
