Rowing in style through Central Park!

Pleasant night to you all, Steemit! I’m writing my pre-bedtime-routine blog post whilst keeping an eye on the NetCoins listing results, and unless something drastic happens in the next two and half hours, we’ll be seeing STEEM across thousands of businesses across Canada. There’s still time so if you haven’t voted today, c’mon! Get your ass to NetCoins, register and vote for STEEM! I wrote a quick look at how to vote in my previous post “Vote for STEEM on NetCoins or condemn yourself to a life of mediocrity!”, as have many other Steemit users. Do your part, especially during this home stretch!

I spent most of the afternoon catching up on photos. @tarotbyfergus showed to @caffetto and we got in a few games of EDH, but after that, it was back to work. The photos I’ve been getting through today are of New York City fashion blogger, Allie McGevna. If that name sounds familiar, I shared some work from this shoot in my previous post, “Urban fashion and nature photography collide in Central Park!”. It’s hard to believe that it’s been two months since I last had a chance to sit with these images. It was refreshing to be taken back and choose new images closer to the “nature” theme for this next set of edits.

You can read about this entire shoot in that previous post, but in it, I did mention that we managed to go out in the middle of a row boat in the middle of Central Park. I knew there were small water features and ponds, but a friend casually mentioned the boats. I threw the idea at Allie and she absolutely loved it. What an experience. Dozens of Midtown New Yorkers that have clearly, never been in or operated a row boat, all trying to not collide with one another. Half of the people on the water were maternity or engagement clients having their photos taken by other photographers.

We managed to pull it off, despite unfavorable overhead light in the hot July summer. I rowed us in to a small overgrown area that offered enough shade between directing our boat and shooting. The last few images we shot captured the beautiful architecture of Central Park with the surrounding foliage and nature elements that were paramount for what Allie was hoping to achieve with this shoot. She was outstanding, as was her assistant. We wrapped in just over two hours with a few hundred outstanding photos.

Thanks for reading! I have one more set to finish of Allie McGavena, but in the meantime, visit her fashion blog at www.insidealliesworld.com. Remember, vote one more time for STEEM on NetCoins.
