This is a very well composed photo, and as you allready know...I just love flea markets!

@Nilla: this one is open eight days a year - four of them next week. i'll make it for at least a day.

What a fine picture of Clem's penchant for collecting things he 'might' need one day. I especially like how he piles things high rather than taking up more yard space. His thinking is so practical... a cement block for an anchor etc. A wonderful place to find and capture.

@Don: don, all this stuff is for sale. it's not a question of what he might need, but rather what YOU might need! and, for reasons unclear to me, 'clem's hideout' is owned and operated by a guy named 'danny.'

Wow! This is cool! I love how there is so much to look at in the frame, all his belongings put on the walls. Your black and white is awesome as always.

@bluechameleon: you should see the inside...

From window sash to potty chairs, Clem's is your home for one stop shopping. Strangely we have a Clem's in town, must be a franchise operation : ] best...jerry

@ordinaryimages: but is it a 'clem's hideout'?

Looks like an old junk shop. Again - your contrasting whites and greys are wonderful!!!

Clem could be just about anywhere in this photo - it's got such an array of goodies to hide in. The full range of tones here make it a fantastic b&w - stunning light. Great job.

I can spend hours at flea-markets and 'Boot sales' it's a fascinating hobby. I thought in the Hide out they were making Moonshine :-0

One man's trash is another man's treasure! Bet you could find almost anything here.... given enough time! Super shot Grant!

While many of your other shots have a desolate tinge to them, this one, though again there are no people, nevertheless has strong presence in it. I can't explain it well, but this one seems a little gentler.

david from columbus, ohio, United States

fascinating shot...so much to see; what's the story here anyhow?

@david: the place really is called 'clem's hideout.' there's no clem. it's owned and operated by danny. the place is in sparks, kansas. sparks has a population of seven. twice a year, for four days a week, there is a very large flea market in sparks. danny opens this place up during the flea market. it's an old house now stuffed to the gills with stuff. this weekend is flea market weekend!
