The Model at Fifth Avenue Crossing

Funny story this morning.  I saw iPhone video shoot of a tall, young model strutting a light flowing gown dress at the corner of West 37th Street and Fifth Avenue.  This routine was repeated several times as soon as the southbound traffic on Fifth came to a stop.  Never mind that I was running late to work, I had to sketch as she does the modeling walk.  Then I decided to show it to them while they were re-grouping.  I asked for her name and she replied "Marina".  As I started walking away, I heard one of the guys asked if I can hold my drawing with her in the background while he took a video of my sketch and her, too.  The other guy said they love it, it almost feel like it was a painting.  Who knew?  Hours later, I realized the missed opportunity of asking for their instagram account or social media post.  Oh well...I was already running late to work anyway.
