Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month I photographed the 2018 Lunar New Year celebration at Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to last year, I knew that there would be a lot of showcases set up around the event, and some fun shows to see. This time, they held it on the ground floor of Fashion Court. Unlike the Concourse where I last photographed this event, the two floors allowed for more people to view the events from above and below.

During the shows, I was able to move on the escalators to both areas. Since the crowd was attracted to all the sound and colors, it was packed soon after everything started. Surrounding the showcase floor, booths about Chinese culture were setup. I saw my friend Victoria Wu making her Mei Mei Fine Teas. Overall, it was a fun display celebrating the Year of the Dog!

Turkish Coffee Lady Grand Opening

Tysons Corner Center

Late last year, I photographed the Turkish Coffee Lady Grand Opening. Since meeting Gizem White at a booth she had on Black Friday, I have seen her market her shop throughout the mall. At this time, there was a huge crowd ready to wish her well! Not only did she need a microphone so that she could be heard over the noise, but the crowd spilled down the hallways of the mall. Of course her family, and other business owners that helped her along the way were in attendance. However, there were other VIPs that showed their support including the ambassador from Turkey, former congressmen, and Turkish Television. Moreover managers from the mall came to see the festivities and to wish her well. When new people would appear, Gizem was very quick to make sure she spent some time thanking them for coming, and for their support to get her business to this milestone. This will be a nice fixture in this part of the mall!

2017 Fit Club Christmas

Hyatt Regency – Tysons

To finish my year of Tysons photos, I photographed the 2017 Fit Club Christmas. I can emphatically say that this was not a workout ‘for fun. By all means, these people were SERIOUS about their exercise! While they had posters of an interval training direction all over the ballroom, they blew a whistle and started going for it. Given that there were 12 steps to the directions, it took a while for everyone to get through each of the exercises. For sure they burned a lot of holiday calories that evening!

After that event, I went just outside to complete another photo request from Macerich. Since the traffic going into the mall was busy towards the end of the season, it would be a good time to get photos of the exterior. Since I was at the ground floor of the Hyatt at the 2017 Fit for Christmas event, I walked out to make photos of the Plaza, the hotel, and the traffic driving in. Luckily, it was a perfect evening to get the buildings balanced with the dwindling evening light. I was so thankful I was done with all of my shopping!
