It has been a couple of months, but I wanted to get the photos from the 2018 Washington Nationals Clinic at the Bullpen on the blog. Last year a similar group of little league players came to run through drills. Additionally, there were some VIPs attending from the team, running presidents George and Teddy! Even though they could almost touch the ceiling down there, they also participated in the drills. Coaches from the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy worked through a series of drills. In case you were not familiar, the Bullpen is a completely decked out facility for baseball. Despite the netting, you still need to keep your head (and your camera) on a swivel as these kids can really swing the bat! Afterwards, the presidents and some of the players went up to the Plaza where you had the opportunity to ride the Bullpen cart!

Today is my 42nd birthday! Although it looks like this is just another post from the mall, it is an appropriately personal post too. Last week was the opening of Tysons Then and Now, a project done by me and Pindar Van Arman.

VIP Attendees

In addition to the County executives, Congressman Connolly, and mall management, Pindar and I invited our family to attend the opening. My mom made the trip to see the exhibition that included some robot painted pieces using my photography as a reference. As much as my mom appreciates what I do, it was nice to have her see my work as part of this attention-grabbing exhibit. Likewise, I felt proud to be part of the team that produced such amazing work! Thanks, Becca, for adding me and my photos to a cool look at Tysons!

2018 First Responders Day

Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed the 2018 First Responders Day held on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. This is a particularly favorite event for me to cover both a number of reasons. At first, the vehicles that they display are authentic and on the cutting edge of technology. Also, talking with the service people is inspiring from their passion for their work, and the goal of making our community more peaceful and safe. While walking through I am educated on the technologies that they employ while on the job. Of course the helicopter is a big attraction with the impact a flying vehicle makes overhead. However, fire trucks, bomb-handling robots, and police cruisers will always attract questions. On this occasion, I connected with the Vienna Police Department. Hearing about the events that they plan throughout the year, I may be covering those for them since photos are an important part of their community outreach. Hopefully more of those will be on the blog soon!
