Most visit this location in the evening to photograph the building’s neon lights, but I find it just as interesting to photograph during the day. Its vibrant organge and neon signs make for a cool effect.

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
All months of the year are suitable to photograph this storefront.
Visit from morning through late-afternoon when the light best illuminates the storefront. Although, keep in mind it also beautifully lights up with neon lights.

Field tips

The building is quite large, so a wide-angle lens is recommended. But, I shot it with an iPhone just fine 😅.
I chose this particular corner of the building because of the neon stripes. They wrap around the whole building, so be sure to explore different angles.
If you happen to be on Temple Street in the evening, this building will illuminate in neon — it’s also great to photograph.
