Backroom bar at the Night Market:



The bar is supposed to be a sort of 'if you know, you know' passworded speakeasy... but they just had the door open.







I didn't drunkenly get a tattoo, but maybe someday:



Nearby building:





Portland porch:



Roof mermaid:



One of the local Dog Libraries. I've shot this one before, but need to do it again. At night the lighting is a pain:



Dog poems, dog books and a basket of sticks and balls for dogs.

I love the candy heart banner. That's really fun. The composition of that shot is really great too. The nearby building one also turned out really well. (They're all great!)

Thank you!

That one building is a lot of fun to photograph :)

That looks like a fun event. I keep wondering about that name, though... there is a Night Market in Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, which is a moving pop-up market in London Below that takes place in various abandoned (or not-so-abandoned) places across London. I'd love to know if this is a reference. I tried google even, but didn't find anything.

Calling it a Night Market is so evocative :) I assumed that Gaiman was drawing on some established folklore thing, but it may have been his variation on a goblin market. Maybe it did grow out of that. It used to be in various empty warehouses overnight, but now it's always in a specific one. It still has a nice vibe, like it's a hidden whimsical thing. Other times the decor has been like swirls of umbrellas hanging in the space, which was fun.

The Night Market looks neat! Though I wonder how different the feel is with a fairly open door vs. an actually hidden thing?

Some very neat shots. I like all the art bits, and that building with all the plants is very cool! Also, excellent roof mermaid and the lucky dog library is extremely cute.

Thanks!

The plants building is cool, I need to shoot it more. It's a lot of fun.
