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!

2019 Holiday Reception – Tysons Partnership

Lumen at Tysons

Earlier in December, I photographed the 2019 Holiday Reception of the Tysons Partnership. The beautiful Lumen above all the other heights over Tysons was the venue. Compared to the last time I was in the penthouse, I was thankful that all the walls were now up. Certainly, I could enjoy the view! Although it was very cold outside, a few guests ventured out on the patios to take in the panoramas.

Holiday Reception

At the entrance to the Lumen, Wolf Trap Animal Rescue had puppies to play with while waiting for the elevators. Since there were many floors in between the puppies and the penthouse reception, I needed help. Thankfully Jae and Nikolai were available in order to catch all the events going on. Rather than rely on the fading sunlight for flower wall photos with the puppies, I set up one large flash for the room. In this case it worked well as the demand for puppy time did not wane for most of the night!

Prior to finishing up for the evening, I checked in upstairs. I made a few more photos especially the HOAR Construction team, local politicians, and other familiar faces. The Lumen was as illuminating on the inside as well as the outside!

This 2019 Lumen Rooftop shoot was done for the Tysons Partnership. Because their mission is to coordinate efforts among partners to guide the development of the area, these would work nicely for them. From the top, you have a panoramic view of the surrounding area.

2019 Lumen Rooftop

While I have been making images for years in Tysons, this was a perspective that did not exist previously. From here I could see Tysons Corner Center where I photographed so many events from the Plaza. Additionally, you can see the Arthur Murray in Tysons and the McLean Hilton where I base the majority of my ballroom dance shoots. Overall it was a privilege to have this kind of access. Thanks to Rob from HOAR Construction who escorted us to the unfinished rooftop! Additionally thanks to the Tysons Partnership for reaching out and initiating this project.
