Hello 2018 World! My Photography Blog is Back!

Tysons photos by Rassi G. Borneo

Shame on me.

I can not believe I have not updated this photography blog in so long! It used to be a daily ritual for me to go through my photos, find some to share with everyone, then post. I have not gone anywhere! The blog did help my SEO, and many people found me by search. I am also involved with other projects that have helped me to grow as a business person. Meeting people face to face has opened even more doors for me to practice my photography. Although the blog remained dormant, I note ideas that would be good posts along the way.

Photography – Tysons, VA

The biggest change for me is that I am making an effort to get out in my business community. Since many of my photography projects have been in the Tysons, Virginia area, I am trying to become more known in the area as a go-to person for commercial photography projects there. Social media is a hyper local resource too!

It has been a fun challenge to see all the varied things happening in the area. We have some amazing architecture reaching for the sky in Tysons. On the ground, where I like the be, exciting things are happening that make it a constant source for fun images. In restaurants they hang antique photos of the old Tysons Corner area of Virginia. They are sepia toned, and patrons will stare at them trying to see where are those locations in the present day. It is my hope that my images may document this time in the early 21st century. The area is attempting to be a home and workplace for the Millennial generation of families coming into the area. 

Let me know if you see some of my images used on social channels. I gave access to some media channels and clients to use and as a result, some are already becoming classics! It is awesome to see them retweeted, reposted, and shared! I am proud to show them off as my own as they become part of a collective library images. In 2018, I look to have the opportunity to make many more. Finally, I am done with my first post back – please hold me accountable!

2016 Tysons Exterior – Tysons Corner Center

Tysons, VA

Last year, the marketing team at Macerich requested that I make some 2016 Tysons exterior photos of the mall. Unlike event photos at the center, have a large crowd was not an emphasis for these. The images would be used for directories chiefly, so identifiable structures would be the goal. Additionally, the images are planned to be used for an app guiding visitors through Tysons.

On this occasion, I was enthusiastic to do this assignment. The biggest challenge was going whenever the weather and the conditions outside were right. Specifically, I was looking for some interesting clouds. For the most part, last summer was good weather-wise, but cooperating clouds were rarer.

As can be seen in the Plaza photos, I caught some great clouds one July evening. Not only were the clouds interesting, but they made for some nice purple and blue colors in the sky! Hopefully you will catch these images on a directory or app at your next visit to Tysons.

Soaring Tysons Spaces

Vita Tower

Just driving through the area, it’s easy to see the soaring Tysons spaces going up into the northern Virginia sky. The team from Macerich asked if I could make some photos of the Vita Tower. This is a new luxury apartment tower opening soon next to Tysons Corner Center. It is the closest to 123, and the most visible to those passing through the area.

For these photos, I went up to the 30th floor of the Vita. Undoubtedly it is the tallest floor above Tysons right now with a view into downtown Washington, DC. On this floor are a lot of recreation areas for residents to use. There are TVs, tables, lounging chairs, and a pool. When the weather is not good, there are interior space available. There is a kitchen, bar, and lounge with TVs and views over the area. The residences in this building must be high end given that this common area had high end design all around. This will be a definite selling point for this property!

Tower Club – Tysons

Across the Tysons Corner Center from the Vita Tower is the Towers Crescent building. It was a soaring space in Tysons since the 1980s. My architect father would frequently comment about this Philip Johnson building when we were in the area. For another client request, I was given access to photograph from their outside spaces. I cannot help thinking this view will change drastically over the next few years!
