Today is my 42nd birthday! Although it looks like this is just another post from the mall, it is an appropriately personal post too. Last week was the opening of Tysons Then and Now, a project done by me and Pindar Van Arman.

VIP Attendees

In addition to the County executives, Congressman Connolly, and mall management, Pindar and I invited our family to attend the opening. My mom made the trip to see the exhibition that included some robot painted pieces using my photography as a reference. As much as my mom appreciates what I do, it was nice to have her see my work as part of this attention-grabbing exhibit. Likewise, I felt proud to be part of the team that produced such amazing work! Thanks, Becca, for adding me and my photos to a cool look at Tysons!

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!

Charles Tyrwhitt Grand Opening

Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month, I photographed the Charles Tyrwhitt grand opening at Tysons Corner Center. At this time, a group of executive managers from the UK attended the opening at the start of the shopping day. Following my arrival to the store, I acquainted myself with their setup so I could capture some good images of their initial setup. Being that they are new to brick-and-mortar stores in the USA, I knew these would be important for them. Likewise, this would be a welcome addition to the lineup of stores in Tysons.

On this occasion, I aimed to get very straight-lined photos of the displays. In researching their catalogs they have a very clean look in their layouts. Moreover, this entire store was diligently set up for their first day. The entire team worked to ensure that everything was in place making my job so much easier!
