Last summer, the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center was set up for the 2016 First Responders Day. Vehicles from Fairfax County services populated the Plaza. Officers and firefighters attended in order to show kids and the public to their capabilities. While they were there, the police officers did have the capability to fingerprint kids that were there.

The Fairfax County Ambulance was open in order to show all the gear inside. Given that there was a lot to see, it was a popular stopping point.

A ladder truck from the Fairfax County Fire Department also visited the Plaza. However, they parked on the street below, and extended a ladder above the crowd! Of course it was an attention- getter with fire fighters climbing the length of the ladder high above the Plaza.

Finally, the Fairfax 1 police helicopter landed on the roof of the adjacent garage. The sound of it approaching made it the star of the show!

Compared to some of the larger event, there were smaller 2016 Plaza summer events that I photographed. In addition to the Summer Concert Series, there were other weekend days that the Plaza was filled with crowds. Certainly these are also important to show the community building that the Macerich team is doing.

Cuatro De Mayo

The Tysons Fit Club took their meeting outside for one of their workouts. Being close to May 5, they brought in La Sandia to bring out food and drinks for after the workout was completed. In addition, they had a mariachi band to fill the Plaza with music setting the mood for the occasion!

VietFest

A cultural festival celebrating Vietnam and their many residents in the area took over the Plaza. Food, fashions, and shows were some of the highlights of their annual event!

Columbia Arthur Murray Silhouettes

Columbia, Maryland

To say that this was one of my favorite photo shoots is somehow an understatement! Leisa Howard, owner of the Columbia, MD studio had this idea for updating the images in the studio. Although I have photographed MANY dance events, this would be a very different collection of images. The goal was to make Arthur Murray Silhouettes using the staff at their studio. Since it would be easier to set this up at their location, I brought all my lighting to do the shoot there.

Compared to dance events, these photos were made under much more controlled circumstances. As a lighting setup, I had two flashes firing into a white seamless background. This is not typical for me but on this occasion, the goal was to completely separate the subjects from the lighting. With this in mind the dancers are moved far from the background lights so that they fall into darkness. In effect they become silhouettes in an extreme contrast of subject and background. Afterwards I boosted the contrast even more to be black and white. This look mirrored some retro images of Arthur Murray posters of the past which is very appropriate for their walls.
