TEDxTysons – Future Tense

Valo Park, Tysons, VA

TEDxTysons – Future Tense is the first event by this new organization! it was a privilege to be the first photographer to cover this event which hopes to be a regular occurrence. This assignment was another connection that was made through Tysons Corner Center. Since I photograph many events there, they referred me to the organizers. As they developed their website, I volunteered to make new photos of the Tysons area for them.

It must be remembered that all the organizers and workers for this event are volunteers. Sponsors of the event contribute meals, apparel, the venue, etc. In the lead up to the main event there were some final details that I covered in photos. Volunteers gathered for a walk-through of the venue for the purpose of learning the details to help guests navigate.

Soaring Tysons Spaces

Vita Tower

Just driving through the area, it’s easy to see the soaring Tysons spaces going up into the northern Virginia sky. The team from Macerich asked if I could make some photos of the Vita Tower. This is a new luxury apartment tower opening soon next to Tysons Corner Center. It is the closest to 123, and the most visible to those passing through the area.

For these photos, I went up to the 30th floor of the Vita. Undoubtedly it is the tallest floor above Tysons right now with a view into downtown Washington, DC. On this floor are a lot of recreation areas for residents to use. There are TVs, tables, lounging chairs, and a pool. When the weather is not good, there are interior space available. There is a kitchen, bar, and lounge with TVs and views over the area. The residences in this building must be high end given that this common area had high end design all around. This will be a definite selling point for this property!

Tower Club – Tysons

Across the Tysons Corner Center from the Vita Tower is the Towers Crescent building. It was a soaring space in Tysons since the 1980s. My architect father would frequently comment about this Philip Johnson building when we were in the area. For another client request, I was given access to photograph from their outside spaces. I cannot help thinking this view will change drastically over the next few years!

Jacquie Lee at Tysons Corner Center | Music Photographer

Last Friday Jacquie Lee performed at the 94.7 Fresh Artists Concert Series at Tysons Corner Center’s new Plaza. Again it was a beautiful evening to hang out and relax outside to listen to some live music. The organizers really lucked out over this whole summer with the weather. The elevated plaza is a great place to view sunsets, and to catch some nice summer breeze. I think the tall buildings have something to do with it! The stage is setup perfectly to take advantage of this, and the performers seem to enjoy the space as they have sounded great. The nearby buildings also make for some great reverb that they can take advantage of with their voices and instruments.

The last performer in the series was Jacquie Lee – the runner up of Season 5 of “The Voice” on NBC. She has a very powerful voice that she displayed in all her songs! Her accompanist played the guitar and keyboard depending on the song selection. She sang some familiar songs as well as some originals, but they all resonated with her strong voice. Getting to meet her beforehand, it was surprising to see so much talent from someone so young. She was enthusiastic when meeting the fans and speaking with them about her time on TV.

It was a nice night to close out the summer concert series. I had a great time covering these, and I want to thank Tysons Corner Center, Macerich, 94.7 Fresh FM, and Intelsat. They put in a lot of work to making all of these run without a hitch. I am sure next summer will be even better, and I hope to be invited back to see those!
