Tysons Boulevard Active Street

Last week, the Tysons Partnership formally opened an Open Streets project on Tysons Blvd. Being that this was my first commercial assignment since the lock down restrictions have started to lift, I was eager to get out there! Similarly, the annual report release for the Partnership was the last event I photographed before quarantine. On this occasion, everyone was practicing their social distancing, and wearing masks.

Since we are still social distancing, the groups that worked on this project had a vision of ‘active’ or ‘open’ streets. Blocking off the north bound lane of Tysons Blvd. to motor traffic allows for more space for biking, walking, and exercise. Despite many different agencies and other stake holders that need to be involved in this kind of project, it was quite a win for those involved! It was a great example of the kind of work the Tysons Partnership does to bring improvements to Tysons. Stop by the next time you are in the area, and enjoy the open street!

Silverline Center

Earlier this month, I covered the 2019 Candidate Forum for the Tysons Partnership. Above all, I am thankful to be working with them again in 2019! Similarly to other events, I was in unfamiliar territory. On this occasion, the venue was the Silverline Center in Tysons. The modern, colorfully lit exterior brings lot of attention to this building in the evening. Inside is a modern clean design throughout the space making it a nice venue in this case.

This is an election year for the Providence District Supervisor. In light of their impact that they will have in the Tysons area, the Partnership had this event to talk to some major stakeholders in the area. As far as photos go, this was a challenging room for positioning. Lighting was excellent as a conference venue. However, a large pylon in the middle of the room made a straight, wide angle perspective impossible. So, all the panoramic views were from a side. Other than that, it was a smooth shoot for me, and I hope the Partnership and the candidates find the images useful!
