Tysons Corner Center

This summer was a celebration of 50 Years since the opening of Tysons Corner Center. In order to mark the occasion, the marketing team at the mall asked me to participate in an art project with Pindar Van Arman. To demonstrate the high – technology aspect of modern Tysons, Pindar programmed robots to paint photos of the Tysons area. With this in mind, the robots need a photograph as a base for the paintings, so I worked to get new images of the area. As a starting point, Pindar and I went to the Fairfax library image archive to find photos of the area from the 1960s that we could use as a reference. From these, we create new photos of the same areas, then the robots painted both for the project, Tysons Then and Now. I think it was a success, and you can still see the results hanging in the mall!

Tysons Corner Center

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!

Valo Park, Tysons, VA

The 2018 Tysons Tailgate was held last month at Valo Park. In brief, this is one of the most popular events produced by the Tysons Partnership! However, this was the first time I was attending. Given that I heard so much about this event in previous years, I was looking forward to this event. As can be seen from the photos, there was a very good reason that all of the photos were under a tent. RAIN! This was not only rain, but a driving downpour that kept everyone cozy.

2018 Tysons Tailgate

As far as Tysons Partnership events go, this was unquestionable the most casual. Now that does not mean it was the most fun as the members really bring a friendly energy to their events. The flexibility in the less-than-ideal weather helped to make this event go smoothly! I look forward to coming back next year in hopefully nicer weather.
