Federal Triangle Archway

501 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
The Federal Triangle, Washington, D.C.

The Federal Triangle refers to the triangular area between Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Constitution Avenue NW, 15th St NW, & E St NW beside the National Mall. Exiting the Federal Triangle Metro station, one would find grand neoclassical buildings that house nine enormous federal buildings with government offices including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney General, National Archives, and the Federal Trade Commission to name a few.

I noticed this archway one day as I headed to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and knew I had to come back one day with my gear to take a proper photo. Washington, D.C. has a distinct feel downtown with myriad impressive buildings with their neoclassical architecture. I was taken by the simplistic beauty of the curved walkway with its windows and hanging lanterns guiding my eye down the path of geometric shapes.

Early on a cold Saturday morning in February I made my attempt to avoid the crowds of government workers who flood this hallway during the week. I started the morning with my planned sunrise shot of the U.S. Capitol Building & Reflecting Pool found here. I then hopped on a bicycle from the bike-share and whisked over here and was pleased to find few people and perfect light casting deep shadows on the hallway. Any day taking photos in Washington, D.C. is a good one, yet it’s satisfying to reflect after shooting and to know you were able to capture your pre-visualized images.

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
