Open Streets – Tysons

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!

Quarantine 1 – Staying Busy

Staying Home

This quaratine time has been a tremendous change to our daily life. Everyone I am in contact with is working from home. Video conference calls are a daily event. Thankfully in this high tech time, everything is working!

What are you doing during this time that we are forced to stay at home? On one hand, I am working very similarly to how I did before. On the other, I have no photo shoots or events to plan. With this in mind, I have turned to working on my business. While I work at home, I have been listening to many podcasts and YouTube channels of other creatives. Similarly, the content has moved in parallel directions. There are tips on keeping productive, on cleaning up your contracts, on honing photography skills inside etc.

Quarantine 1

In contrast, I am not looking for things to do while staying at home. If I am successful with my efforts, my blog will hopefully look a lot more full! It has been an aspiration of mine to get back to blogging which I did more regularly. Seeing that it was a great way to document the photos shoots, and to remember what the environment was like when I made the photos.

Given that I enjoyed reviewing these posts, I want to go back to old events, and put them on the blog. At the same time, I will attempt to keep current with the posts as well. The photos from this Quaratine 1 post are from some of the daily walks. Every day we are taking walks, and bring a camera with me. These were taken with my first DSLR camera – the Nikon D100. It has a very low megapixel count, and I converted it to only capture infrared light.

So far it has been enough to capture something different when repeatedly passing the same areas over the last month! I hope you are staying safe at home. If you are getting around to do things that you were putting off until you had time to get to it, please let me know. Maybe there is something I should be doing that I have not thought to do yet.

2018 Santa Fit4Mom

Tysons Corner Center

Last month I photographed the 2018 visit of Santa to the Fit4Mom group in Tysons Corner Center. Whenever he comes to workout and greet the kids, there is a mixed reaction. Occasionally the very young ones will not be as happy to see Santa, but the older ones can sometimes not get enough time with him! Since the Fit4Mom group will work out in the mall before they open, Santa has plenty of time to participate in their activities before heading down to the set for the day.

Occasionally some will be surprised to see Santa in early November. Nevertheless, Santa is already in full swing with his holiday wishes. As can be seen from these photos, the moms and kids that came in their Christmas outfits did not care about the calendar. Anytime Santa comes by is a good time to show how good you have been all year!
