I shot my second "eastside" e-session recently after relocating to PA from AZ, this one in NYC!! What a great experience to be back in the big, BIG city after so many years away. Some of you may know that I lived in NYC from 1988-90, before heading west. I loved shooting there again.
We started out in Central Park and finished up on the Brooklyn Bridge just as the sun was setting. Here are a couple of my favorites, and the slideshow can be viewed

That's funny, Paige. I really have lived a LOT of places. I suppose I'm pretty unsettled. Already thinking about where to go next!!

Maybe back to Denver? I love Colorado.

I've wondered that same thing, Tony! Weird that there is North, South, West, Midwest, UK, and International, but no EAST. Isn't the Eastern portion of the US the most populated? Must be a lot of shooters that fall under EAST.

Robin, you are way too kind. I hardly think that way about these with all the phenomenal work being produced and shown on here. But thanks!

Burce, how long was that session? It could take an hour just to get from Central Park to the bridge? Thanks for showcasing our city so beautifully!

We met at a coffee shop (La Pain something) on 65th, if I remember right, close to Lincoln Center (where my parking on Sunday afternoon cost $29!!). I wanted so badly to get back to that little shop and pick up their special Olive Spread for Robin, because she really likes olives, and I never made it back (I felt bad about that).
Anyway, we met there at 3:30. Headed out to Central Park around 4:30 and shot around the Park until about 6:30, walked back to Lincoln Center parking garage and headed down to Brooklyn Bridge. I had my car so we drove. Traffic wasn't too bad, and we found street parking close to the Bridge pretty quickly. Walked out onto the Bridge and shot until just after sunset.
So what is that? About 4 hours total time shooting, with all the walking and driving included.
The couple was great to work with ... very enthusiastic and fun!!
