Patriotic Colors in Tysons

Tysons, Virginia

Today is my 44th birthday! Concurrently, it is Patriot Day in the United States which is the reason for patriotic colors in the photos. Certainly, half of the year has been a challenge. The pandemic lockdown drastically changed everyday life and work in 2020. However, I have used my photography to keep myself busy.

At first, I only had one assignment to capture this large American flag on the Tysons Tower. Since it was scheduled to only be up temporarily, I went out during different times during the day to see how it looked with different skies. With less foot and car traffic, it was a good way to social distance!

Additionally, I did not have as many other projects to work on. With this in mind, I could take more time to experiment. I went deep into the equipment bag to try gear I normally do not bring with me to expand my skills. As can be seen, I expanded my self-assignment to include other patriotic colors on other buildings. They make for a nice collection!

Capital One Headquarters

‘Transforming Tysons: Tysons East’ was the latest Tysons Partnership event that I recently photographed. Seeing that I have been on top of this building for photos, it was nice to see the interior! Prior to going into the conference room for the panelist, there was an impressive showcase area just outside. In order to highlight the development in Tysons East, new residential areas had models and presentations of their new properties.

Transforming Tysons East

As can be seen in the photos, this was a very high tech, modern conference room. Not only did they have plenty of room for the large crowd in attendance, but they had a great lighting setup for emphasizing presenters. The dark overall room ambience made the video presentations pop! Additionally the dedicated techs also had the audio tuned for the audience. It was great to get experience in a new venue, especially in one of the tallest buildings in the state!

The Boro, Tysons, VA

Last week I photographed a 2018 April Lunch and Learn for the Tysons Partnership. On this occasion the topic was ‘Collaborative Approaches to Urban Parks and Public Space in Tysons’. With this in mind, this event really illustrates the mission of the Partnership. During the panel discussion, many partners from Fairfax County, the architects, developers, and property mangers explained recent successes.

Collaboration among many players is needed at this time. Before these large development projects are started, buy in from those involved will ensure their needs are fulfilled years before completion. It was interesting as an observer to hear how these issues are resolved. Without a doubt this is a privilege to see these highly intelligent and motivated leaders make these things happen. Further, I am excited to see these changes come to Tysons!

For the photos, I set up one flash through an umbrella. As can be seen this was a very large room! Thankfully the large white walls helped to fill it in the exposure.
