If you remember in October we (Paddington and I) visited York and in Stonegate's Original Teddy Bear Shop Paddington noticed a Lonely Bear. Paddinton wanted me to take a photo of him and Lonely Bear. The photo session ended in the train. Paddington decided that all this Bear needs is Family. Our Family!
And He had a Passport already, so there should be no obstacles to travel from one country to another
Bear's name Was Nobody is Perfect.
Born in Stockholm, Sweden. Manufactured by Bukowski Bears
Paddington claimed that this name did not suit the Bear: "All Bears are perfect. We will give him a Proper Name"
After long travelling around finally we reached our home in Latvia. Paddington introduced the new friend to the Family: "This is our new family member and from now on he will live with us."
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!
P.S. In the photo you see just some members of family.
In the background is Frida, a bear girl from Edinburgh. Frida is a gift from a good friend. Also in the picture there are the twin brothers Leopards. They were the first to support me when I was far away from home. In the picture you don't see Paddington's close friend Matilda, who is currently seeing a Mouse doctor.
The Chevrolet Camaro is an automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, classified as a pony car and some versions also as a muscle car. It went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year and was designed as a competing model to the Ford Mustang. The car shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced for 1967. Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The nameplate was revived on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro; production started on March 16, 2009. [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Camaro]

This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

The heritage of Ibi, a manufacturing town in the mountainous interior of Alicante province, eastern Spain.
Manufactured in 1943 as a SNB-1 for the US Navy, Bu39796. Converted to PAC Tradewind tri-gear configuration in 1964 by Airborne Electronics at Memphis, TN.
Manufactured by Associated Equipment Company for the London General Omnibus Company, LTL-type single-decker buses were used on routes with light traffic or low bridges. Their long and low design and their speed earned them the nickname 'scooters' because they appeared to 'scoot' along. This vehicle entered service in 1931. London Transport museum
Bennett Classic Antiques Auto Museum
Website: www.bennettclassics.com
Bennett Classics Antique Auto Museum houses around 70 vehicles manufactured from 1913 to 2013. The museum was started in 2007 by brothers Buddy & Joe Bennett, whose uncle owned a Ford dealership in Burnsville, NC, when they were growing up, instilling in them a lifelong love of cars. They moved to Rutherford County in the late 1960s, where they both started successful businesses, and on the side started collecting cars. Over the years, their collection that was in storage grew, but it wasn't until their retirement, when they started sorting through the collection, that they realized they had a whole building full of unrestored, low mileage automobiles. It was then the idea of the museum was born. The museum won the National Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Museum Award in 2014, an honor based on the museum's involvement in community, its presentation of the antique car hobby, the preservation of the automobiles, and the educational efforts of the museum. The collection includes many types of automobiles, from Model Ts to Mack trucks, a Shelby Mustang, the retired Forest City American Lanfranc fire truck, and a 1963 Ford Mayberry sheriff's car signed by Don Knotts (A.K.A Barney Fife of the Andy Griffith TV show).
A T-bucket (or Bucket T) is a hot rod, based on a Ford Model T of the 1915 to 1927 era, but extensively modified. T-buckets were favorites for greasers. Model Ts were hot-rodded and customized from the 1920s on, but the T-bucket was specifically created and named by Norm Grabowski in the 1950s. This car was named Lightning Bug, better known as the Kookie Kar, after being redesigned by Grabowski and appearing in the TV show 77 Sunset Strip, driven by character Gerald "Kookie" Kookson. The exposure it gained led to numerous copies being built. A genuine T-bucket has the two-seater body of a Model T roadster (with or without the turtle deck or small pickup box), this "bucket"-shaped body shell giving the cars their name. A Model T-style radiator is usually fitted, and even these can sometimes be barely up to the task of cooling the large engines fitted. Windshields, when fitted, are vertical glass like the original Model T. Today, T-buckets remain common. They generally feature an enormous engine for the size and weight of the car, generally a V8, along with tough drivetrains to handle the power and large rear tires to apply that power to the road. The front wheels are often much narrower than the rear wheels, and are often motorcycle wheels.

On the Baker College campus in Allen Park Michigan is this sculpture which I believe pays homage to engineering and manufacturing. With the exception of the legs (which are made from tree limbs) this fine looking animal is constructed out of everything form hubcaps, tractor seats, snow shovels to fifty five gallon drums. It stands about ten feet tall.
Here is something I do the electrical design for at work. I'd just finished testing. The HDR processing fits a factory and steel very well.
It would appear that the American Manufacturing Bldg was lost for good today in the biggest alarm fire in the last 10years not including 9/11. Apparently the neighborhood were fighting the developers as they tried to declare it a Historic National Landmark. Coincidence or not, the owner of the property had previously in 2003 been investigated for arson on another piece of land in dumbo which went down in similiar fashion.
It is a great loss!
ERVING — Erving Industries is running its historic paper mill 24/7 making toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and dental bibs.
But the machines aren’t running 24/7 because of the coronavirus panic buying that’s left store shelves empty coast-to-coast.
It’s always this way, at Erving Industries, said Morris Housen, president, CEO and the third generation of his family running the mill, built in 1905, hugging the Millers River a 55-mile drive from Springfield.
“It’s such a capital-intensive business you always want to be running 24/7, every day of the year,” Housen said. “Every paper mill operates this way. We are always at capacity. There has been no surge.”
Erving makes paper — 120 tons of it a day — from recycled office paper collected around New England. The plant collects 12 truckloads of paper and ships 10 truckloads out each day.
The company makes giant “parent” rolls of material that it ships to its clients, Housen said. Those companies then cut up the paper and finish making it into rolls of toilet paper and paper towels, paper napkins and dental bibs.
The rolls destined for various products are barley distinguishable from one another when they leave Erving, Housen said...
