Dart is a Rope Dojo graduate and a friend whom we don't get to see nearly as often as we like, considering he lives up in Toronto. He's also a fantastic rope player. It was quite a surprise to him when I asked him if he'd like to tie me when he was down for a visit. Michele was going to shoot him with another friend of his and I wanted to work with him. He was taken aback because he'd never done rope "cross-orientationally" and didn't know how to approach it. My thinking was that we connect at the rope and we'd let our love for the rope experience guide our shoot.

What came out of it was amazing and I'm so glad we were able to capture it. The day was hot, the rope was hotter and we both soared.

Thanks, Dart and Michele.
