The photos from the 2019 FADS Spring Fling have been released! This was our first event for the Fred Astaire dance studios in the DC Area. In the first place, I want to thank Brianna Dee for inviting us to cover the event. In like fashion to other events, we have sorted the images by gentlemen’s number. You can see all the photos here:

Since this was a local event for us we saw some familiar faces on the floor. In contract to other FADS events we have covered, it was nice to catch up with old dance friends! Their dance floor at the Westin Dulles was setup nicely for spotlighting the action. With this in mind, the dancers had a high end event that they could attend locally. Please let me know if you have any feedback on the images!

Recently I photographed an Open Mic Night event for TEDxTysons. In similar fashion to popular talent shows on TV, potential speakers are pulled out of the audience. Even though they would not be giving a full talk, they would give a preview for judges and the audience to review. There was an initial call for applications so there was some culling before the event. 25 speakers then had their chance in front of the audience to pitch their talk.

Open Mic Night TEDxTysons – Speakers

At stake during this event was an opportunity to give a full talk at the upcoming main event this fall! Not only were they competing against each other, but there was an encouraging spirit in the crowd. Even with all the culling, there was still just a small chance of having the main stage this fall. Contestants were encouraging and supportive throughout the night. For sure, even if they were not picked this time, there are future TEDx speakers that gave their first looks tonight!

Volunteer Dinner TEDxTysons

Industrious – Arlington, VA

Earlier this month, I reunited with TEDxTysons at a volunteer dinner to plan for another year! Given that they have had 3 years of events with good audience feedback, they will make more in 2019. In addition to finding enthusiastic volunteers and engaging speakers the TEDxTysons team has a talent for finding partners. Of course they have a TED brand to lean on, but they have a way of infecting their partners with their enthusiasm to reach the same goals.

When another TEDx event comes on my schedule, I look back on the previous photos on the blog. Without a doubt, getting involved with them has opened so many doors for me and my photography. Contact tracing the people they have connected me to has already spidered to places I could not have envisioned. Even more, the topics and speakers that I have been able to photograph has expanded my view of what and who is out there. These planning meetings really show the starting block of their efforts. Knowing their track record, I would get tickets for their next events as soon as they are available!
