Plaza – Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed the ArmorUp Zumba for Life Zumbathon at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion the weather was perfect for working out on the Plaza. In case you are not familiar, ArmorUp for Life was founded by Loriana Hernandez. Her story is inspiring, and will undoubtedly get you thinking about your health.

Loriana is a leukemia survivor. Prior to her diagnosis, she was a health and fitness reporter. With this in mind, her doctors credit her fitness with part of the reason for her successful recovery. Indeed, I have seen family members that endured cancer treatments. Without a doubt having strength and a good fitness level is imperative. So this afternoon, the attendees danced, jumped, and soaked up the sun!

Tysons, Virginia

Last month I covered the 2017 Tysons Chamber 5K organized at the Plaza in Tysons Corner Center. Unlike the other events I have attended so far, this covered a large area with the race route through Tysons. Above all, I was there to capture the action since it shows how much fun everyone was having! Of course higher participation would make for higher donations to the benefitting organization. But it also shows the reach that this Chamber has in its home area.

Due to this being my first 5K for the Chamber, I was impressed! There were many groups and enthusiasts that enjoyed the timed event. Whenever you plan something like this, you hope for good weather, and this was a perfect morning. The overcast skies made for beautiful conditions for a run. Congratulations to all the sponsors and organizers that pulled off a great event!

In my own push to expand my athletic portraiture portfolio, I took some photos of Orlando. At this time we met at the beautiful Meridian Hill Park in the heart of Washington, DC. Following our trip to Jones Point where the first boundary for DC was placed, Meridian Hill is on a line directly north of that point. The original marker on this hill was made directly from the White House which was made from Jones Point – clearly where the name “Meridian Hill” originated.

The park has a large flat field at the top and descends with cascading fountains in the center. On either side of the large fountain are steps and stairs of differing lengths which gives runners a changing elevation to challenge them on their runs. At this time, this is a great spot for getting outside to do some exercise – Orlando picked a perfect spot. At the bottom of the fountain, he stood on the last ledge which made for a nice background for him to show off his boot camp venue. Visit his web page and contact him to get more information on his on-going programs.
