Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed the 2018 First Responders Day held on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. This is a particularly favorite event for me to cover both a number of reasons. At first, the vehicles that they display are authentic and on the cutting edge of technology. Also, talking with the service people is inspiring from their passion for their work, and the goal of making our community more peaceful and safe. While walking through I am educated on the technologies that they employ while on the job. Of course the helicopter is a big attraction with the impact a flying vehicle makes overhead. However, fire trucks, bomb-handling robots, and police cruisers will always attract questions. On this occasion, I connected with the Vienna Police Department. Hearing about the events that they plan throughout the year, I may be covering those for them since photos are an important part of their community outreach. Hopefully more of those will be on the blog soon!

The Plaza

Last week, I photographed the 2017 First Responders Day on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to the event last year, many of the same departments attended the event. At this time, there was a nice retro police cruiser from the Fairfax County Police. It was undoubtedly the most popular backdrop for requested photos! From the large police lights on top of the car to the nostalgic model car, I had plenty of opportunities there.

On the garage top next to the Plaza, the Fairfax 1 helicopter planned to land so kids could get up close to the vehicle and the crew. Prior to its arrival, the security team at Tysons let me know a few minutes before it arrived, so I headed up to get in place. In testing my settings before the helicopter arrived, I made some awesome movie-like portraits of the security in place:
