Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed David Cook at the 2017 Christmas Tree Lighting at Tysons Corner Center. Of course Santa was also there along with a crew from 97.1 WASH-FM. Without a doubt, this event was geared to jump start the holiday shopping season, and the music, lights, and Santa put it into high gear. Performing on his guitar, David played holiday selections and some of his familiar hits that made this American Idol famous.

After the event on the Plaza was finished, David and Santa went to his set inside the mall. Shortly afterwards, some fans came to a short meet and greet. While we were there, I did get a chance to tell David that he is popular in the ballroom dance world. Specifically many of his songs translate well to Viennese Waltz tracks during competition heats. Hopefully he was not too scared off by my out-of-left-field tidbit – lol!

Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this Fall, I photographed 2017 Washington Nationals Clinic at the Bullpen. In case you did not know, Tysons Corner Center has a beautiful baseball practice facility hidden in its ground floor! Making use of a previous movie theater space, the Bullpen is altogether a unique space in Tysons. On this occasion, the Washington Nationals conducted a clinic for local Little League teams with some coaches from their academy.

The Plaza

Continuing the partnership with the Washington Nationals, the mall made both the Bullpen and the Plaza available to the team. Certainly the Running Presidents grab a lot of attention as they are literally larger than life, and instantly recognizable as team ambassadors. Of course this crowd was glad to interact with them! After the clinic, the group went up to the Plaza for a showing of the evening game against the Mets. It was a full day of baseball action in Tysons!

Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed the NAMI 2017 Annual Walk held on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion, they held the 9th edition of this annual event for NAMI – the National Alliance on Mental Illness. While this was not the first race I have photographed at this venue, there were many participants on this walk!

Prior to the start of the race, the organizers made some comments about the goals of the walk and the donations that were raised. Hearing the stories from some of the participants was encouraging as they described their experiences with mental illness. In brief, some were family members that made use of the resources of NAMI. The provide education and vital support to those that work with adults that have a mental health condition.

From a photography perspective, the branding of the mall from the Plaza is prominent and easy to incorporate into the images. Additionally the clear Saturday morning gave a feel of energy and positivity which matched the goals of the walk. Also the large crowd right at the start of the walk illustrated the support and community built around NAMI and its event.
