NoMa, rapidly taking it's place as one of the premier work/live neighborhoods in DC, is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of it's Metro station, the first added "in-fill" station to the Metro system. As reported in the informative pull out section published in the 11/14/14 Washington Business Journal, "Success Built on Transit: 10 Years and Growing," the development of NoMa's Metro station is "notable and exemplary" because, "it led to the rapid redevelopment of a blighted former industrial area …into a thriving neighborhood of modern "green" buildings, hotels, and highly desirable new residential buildings."
I have photographed and witnessed this amazing transformation as the principle contract photographer for the NoMa Business Improvement District (NoMa BID) over the past 3 years. Take a look at the publication for interesting insights about this urban redevelopment success story. Most of the photographs accompanying the articles, including the cover, are images I shot on assignment for NoMa BID.
NoMa BID utilizes my architectural, cityscape, and lifestyle images in many ways, including banner images for it's website, photographs accompanying reports about the neighborhood, and banners sprinkled over the many construction fences in the area. Here are several banners that can be seen from the Metro Red Line as one approaches or passes just south of the NoMa-Gallaudet station towards Union Station.
