Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month I photographed the Snappy Hour and Wounded Warrior Project event at the Santa HQ in Tysons Corner Center. The evening following the opening ceremony of the set was reserved for the Wounded Warrior Project. Having this time specified for injured veterans and their families was very accommodating so they could spend some time in the set without a crowd waiting in line for them.

Snappy Hour

Another event that week was the Snappy Hour held at the Santa HQ set. In contrast to the kids that are usually the visitors, this event focused on adults looking to network with drinks and eats from Earl’s. Furthermore with Santa hanging around, it was perfect for ‘snapping’ some Instagrams!

Tysons Corner Center

Last week, I photographed the 2018 Santa HQ Opening at Tysons Corner Center. Tommy McFly and Jen Richer were there to host the festivities like they have done in previous years. With a band playing, Santa made his entrance to the HGTV set that will be where his portrait sessions will be. Since there were no events prior to this opening, this was my first attempt at seeing him this year. However, I know that he will have a packed schedule once it gets going! With Tysons celebrating 50 years this year, it is not the first year for this Santa either. Moreover, I saw some parents bringing their kids to see the same Santa that they saw as a kid!

50 Years – Tysons

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!
