Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed David Cook at the 2017 Christmas Tree Lighting at Tysons Corner Center. Of course Santa was also there along with a crew from 97.1 WASH-FM. Without a doubt, this event was geared to jump start the holiday shopping season, and the music, lights, and Santa put it into high gear. Performing on his guitar, David played holiday selections and some of his familiar hits that made this American Idol famous.

After the event on the Plaza was finished, David and Santa went to his set inside the mall. Shortly afterwards, some fans came to a short meet and greet. While we were there, I did get a chance to tell David that he is popular in the ballroom dance world. Specifically many of his songs translate well to Viennese Waltz tracks during competition heats. Hopefully he was not too scared off by my out-of-left-field tidbit – lol!

Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this Fall, I photographed 2017 Washington Nationals Clinic at the Bullpen. In case you did not know, Tysons Corner Center has a beautiful baseball practice facility hidden in its ground floor! Making use of a previous movie theater space, the Bullpen is altogether a unique space in Tysons. On this occasion, the Washington Nationals conducted a clinic for local Little League teams with some coaches from their academy.

The Plaza

Continuing the partnership with the Washington Nationals, the mall made both the Bullpen and the Plaza available to the team. Certainly the Running Presidents grab a lot of attention as they are literally larger than life, and instantly recognizable as team ambassadors. Of course this crowd was glad to interact with them! After the clinic, the group went up to the Plaza for a showing of the evening game against the Mets. It was a full day of baseball action in Tysons!

Valo Park – Tysons, VA

Envisioning the future is important for the plans for Tysons. With this in mind, the Tysons Chamber created a new signature event, the 2017 Tysons 2050. At this time the event was separated into Live, Work and Play sections. Community leaders in these areas talked about how they see Tysons in light of the decisions being made today.

Valo Park was a perfect venue to illustrate a vision of the future. After all the region is growing quickly in 2017. Moreover it could be a metropolis 33 years into the future. In the vendor area, high technology companies displayed new products. Together with the speakers, this sparked interesting conversations in the venue. With attention to the future, I felt privileged to be documenting the evening. Regardless of how things look in 2050, events like this will keep the long view shorter as we roll along.
