Tysons Corner Center

Last week was 2019 Black Friday – the busiest shopping day at Tysons Corner Center. In light of it being a couple of years since I have been here the day after Thanksgiving, it was a spectacle! The Macerich marketing team wanted me to get some great images specifically of the crowds. In general, there was no area inside that was not filled with shoppers. Moreover, there was significant traffic coming into the center in cars!

The open area overlooking the levels from the 3rd Floor Food court is an especially nice viewpoint. Because of the nice large skylight windows, this sunny day really had a lot of light streaming in. Hopefully everyone braved the conditions and finished all their shopping!

Affordable Housing – Tysons Partnership

Freddie Mac, McLean, VA

Prior to Thanksgiving, I photographed an Affordable Housing event for the Tysons Partnership. As much as I relish photographing the soaring towers that are changing the skyline, having access to housing is an important issue that does not get as much attention. It was important to realize that this was part of the Comprehensive Plan for Tysons.

This was another event in which the Partnership exposed me to a new venue in Tysons. The Freddie Mac headquarters is another high-tech building among a sprawling campus of buildings. On this occasion there were panels and speakers presenting ideas to achieve the housing goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Afterwards, the attendees broke into groups to start hashing out some of the details. Of course, this is not something that would be solved in one meeting. However, this was a very tangible look at the process of how collaborations like this will create a future community!

2019 Winter Showcase photos Released

DC Area Arthur Murray Studios

The photos from last Saturday’s 2019 Winter Showcase have been released! It was our last Arthur Murray event for the 2019. We edited and sorted the photos as quickly as possible. Here is the link to the collection:

In general, I think we have everyone where they should be. However, if there is a couple in the wrong studio, please let me know!

This event was a good one compared to other simply due to the music selections. Since the students can work with the staff to pick their own tracks for their routines, there is more of a variety than normal. Interpreting a track, especially if it is a popular song, can help you visualize something familiar in a new way. It emphasizes the creativity in a new way, and is another avenue of learning dance from school figures. I wonder if that influences how the judges view the routines. Perhaps they had their own thoughts on how a dance will meld with a song. How will they react if they see something different presented on the floor?

The competition heats in the All-Arounds were very full this time! In order to rank all the couples, there were many heats that needed semi-final rounds to accommodate so many entries. By the evening, the excitement in the competition was really high. After the rest for dinner, the crowd was enthusiastically cheering for their studio-mates!
