HO HO HO – it is time for the 2017 Santa Breakfast! Last week Santa arrived by train at the 3rd level food court for his annual breakfast. Darik from 94.7 Fresh FM was there to announce all the events throughout the morning. Those Funny Little People also came to perform a show with Santa at his set. As can be seen in the photos, many people came for the breakfast, and stayed to get a moment with Santa. Similarly to last year, the line to see him was very long! Indeed, I did my best to get photos as quickly as I could. To see all the photos from the event, please go to the Tysons Corner Center Facebook page. You can download all of your favorites from there.

Tysons Corner Center

The day after Thanksgiving, I went to get images of the crowds on 2017 Black Friday at Tysons Corner Center. Above all the days that I come to photograph at the mall, this is the most crowded! Knowing how difficult it would be to get around the mall at this time, I arrived very early just to get in the building.

Although I can be self conscious about making photos in public, this day is not a problem. Obviously, there is a lot on the minds of the people shopping on Black Friday. Some are there for the deals, some are searching for gift ideas, and some are just there to see the spectacle. Nevertheless, it makes for some great dynamic images. So many people in the mall, going by advertisements, and shopping in stores. Have you started your holiday shopping yet?

Last month, I photographed David Cook at the 2017 Christmas Tree Lighting at Tysons Corner Center. Of course Santa was also there along with a crew from 97.1 WASH-FM. Without a doubt, this event was geared to jump start the holiday shopping season, and the music, lights, and Santa put it into high gear. Performing on his guitar, David played holiday selections and some of his familiar hits that made this American Idol famous.

After the event on the Plaza was finished, David and Santa went to his set inside the mall. Shortly afterwards, some fans came to a short meet and greet. While we were there, I did get a chance to tell David that he is popular in the ballroom dance world. Specifically many of his songs translate well to Viennese Waltz tracks during competition heats. Hopefully he was not too scared off by my out-of-left-field tidbit – lol!
