2017 Army Retirement

Pentagon

Earlier this year, I photographed a 2017 Army retirement ceremony at the headquarters of the Department of Defense. As a matter of fact, this is a completely new type of event for me to attend. In spite of growing up in northern Virginia, I have never been to the Pentagon except for an elementary school field trip. Indeed, I was excited to get the experience of working in one of the most famous buildings in the world! On this occasion, there was a large number of active military coworkers, and family that were in attendance. The ceremony was a mix of reverence for a successful ending to a career, retirement humor, and family reunion. It was a privilege to be present for such a milestone for someone that served our country with such distinction.

Afterwards, family and friends made plans to meet at the Courtyard Marriott in Woodbridge for a fun reception. Not only did they have a lot of good food and drink, but they had a live band playing all night!

2017 Christmas in July

Tysons Corner Center

It is just about time for a 2017 Christmas in July post! It has been a couple of years since I made such a strange article on the blog. Given that I photograph in and around Tysons Corner Center so frequently throughout the year, I do not have to waste too much time pre-planning for photos.

Seeing that I am an introverted soul like many photographers, this kind of assignment I relish. Primarily, the branding of sponsors on the ice rink, the Hyatt balcony, and the other holiday advertising was the focus. However, this evening was particularly lucky in terms of twilight.

During another exterior photo session, I really lucked out with the clouds. In the hope of getting some nice sunset light on the buildings, I headed out in the late afternoon. On this occasion, my patience was rewarded as the light during sunset was spectacular! I could not have asked for a more perfect combination of clouds and color. I think these images will be useful for so many uses around the Tysons area.

impact – TEDxTysons

Capital One – Tysons, VA

TEDxTysons held their newest main event at the Capital One Headquarters. impact – TEDxTysons was a full Saturday of speakers, networking, and ideas worth spreading. As can be seen in the photos, the headquarters in Capital One was a beautiful, forward-looking venue for TEDx talks. In light of a large tower being built right outside the auditorium, this space was a showcase of possibility.

The atrium heading into the auditorium was a beautifully lit space. Very large open skylights and windows allows daylight to spill into the space. For photos in front of the step and repeat, this was an easy assignment given that the light was bouncing around everywhere!

[i]mpact – TEDxTysons

The speakers gave talks about individuals creating impact. Thus, the impact title becomes [i]mpact. Talks attempt to explain where does this impact come from, and how does it grow? To illustrate this is one of the talks, I contributed one of my photos from above Tysons. Undoubtedly, I was blown away about seeing my photo up there. Moreover seeing it in conjunction with a TEDx talk has been a highlight of my photography career so far. Thanks to TEDxTysons for the opportunity to be a part!
