October 6, 2025. Kelsey Roman performing with aerial silks while hanging from the West Trapps cliff in the Gunks. We photographed during sunset and moonrise. Rock guide Dustin Portzline managed Kelsey’s safety rigging and filmed behind-the-scenes footage.

I photographed this with a flash while hanging from a static line. I used a big wall harness for safety, a bosun’s chair for comfort, and a Peak Design thingy that’s now out of stock for clipping my camera to my harness.
