Booz Allen Hamilton Headquarters

Last week, I photographed the newest TEDxTysons salon event – Casting a Wider <Dot> Net. On this occasion, the venue was spot on for talks around technology and the impact it is having today. The Booz Allen Hamilton headquarters is in the middle of the growing Tysons, Virginia neighborhood – the Boro. Also it is impossible to miss the high technology companies in the surrounding office buildings.

Speakers

The technology expo was setup in the auditorium reception area when guests started to arrive. It set the scene for discussions on developments that may be part of daily life sooner or later. In contrast, the talks went in depth to higher level thoughts on technology and its impact or our life today.

In order to capture the photos, I had to stretch my stealthy skills. In fact this venue may have the lowest noise floor of any TEDxTysons event so far! Please check out their website for all the photos and to hear the talks.

Barns of Wolf Trap

Lessons Learned was the newest TEDxTysons salon event. Prior to the night of the event, I visited the space with other volunteers. Since I had never been to the Barns of Wolf Trap before, this was a good move. As a venue, this was a particularly appropriate site for their talks. Not only do they have a fully-equipped stage, but they have a food and reception area just outside the auditorium.

Speakers – Lessons Learned – TEDxTysons

When the show started, it was immediately apparent that this was stage ready for productions. Stage lighting and perfect acoustics elevated the TEDx experience for the audience. In contrast to the other venues that were in corporate locations, this felt like a production in a cinema. The presenters talked about learning from mistakes, overcoming failures, and enduring loss. In general, the speakers really engaged through authentic stories, inspiring outcomes, and a little humor! Check the TEDxTysons site for the videos that will be released soon.

Capital One – Tysons, VA

TEDxTysons held their newest main event at the Capital One Headquarters. impact – TEDxTysons was a full Saturday of speakers, networking, and ideas worth spreading. As can be seen in the photos, the headquarters in Capital One was a beautiful, forward-looking venue for TEDx talks. In light of a large tower being built right outside the auditorium, this space was a showcase of possibility.

The atrium heading into the auditorium was a beautifully lit space. Very large open skylights and windows allows daylight to spill into the space. For photos in front of the step and repeat, this was an easy assignment given that the light was bouncing around everywhere!

[i]mpact – TEDxTysons

The speakers gave talks about individuals creating impact. Thus, the impact title becomes [i]mpact. Talks attempt to explain where does this impact come from, and how does it grow? To illustrate this is one of the talks, I contributed one of my photos from above Tysons. Undoubtedly, I was blown away about seeing my photo up there. Moreover seeing it in conjunction with a TEDx talk has been a highlight of my photography career so far. Thanks to TEDxTysons for the opportunity to be a part!
