A mixture of cement and water. Effectively this is a lot like tile grout. I squeegeed it into the holes with a grout float, which I had left over from a tile project a couple of years ago.

With so many photos being taken "in" Times Square, I decided to be different. I took a few looking south from 48th St. to Times Square - mostly playing around with long exposures.

Times Square is a major intersection in Manhattan, New York City at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. The Times Square area consists of the blocks between Sixth and Eighth Avenues from east to west, and West 40th and West 53rd Streets from south to north, making up the western part of the commercial area of Midtown Manhattan.
Formerly Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed after the Times Building (now One Times Square), the former offices of The New York Times, in April 1904. Like the Red Square in Moscow, Trafalgar Square in London, and Tiananmen Square in Beijing, Times Square has achieved the status of an iconic world landmark and has become a symbol of its city. Times Square is principally defined by its animated, digital advertisements.
In the early 1900s, New York Times publisher Adolph S. Ochs moved the newspaper's operations to a new skyscraper on 42nd Street in Longacre Square. Ochs persuaded Mayor George B. McClellan, Jr. to construct a subway station there, and the area was renamed "Times Square" on April 8, 1904. Just three weeks later, the first electrified advertisement appeared on the side of a bank at the corner of 46th Street and Broadway.
The New York Times moved to more spacious offices across Broadway in 1913. The old Times Building was later named the Allied Chemical Building. Now known simply as One Times Square, it is famed for the "ball" which "drops" from a tower on its roof every New Year's Eve.
As New York City's growth continued, Times Square quickly grew as a cultural hub full of theaters, music halls, and upscale hotels.
Celebrities such as Irving Berlin, Fred Astaire, and Charlie Chaplin were closely associated with Times Square in the 1910s and 1920s. During this period, the area was nicknamed The Tenderloin because it was supposedly the most desirable location in Manhattan. However, it was during this period that the area was besieged by crime and corruption, in the form of gambling and prostitution; one case that garnered huge attention was the arrest and subsequent execution of police officer Charles Becker.
The general atmosphere changed with the onset of the Great Depression during the 1930s. In the decades afterward, it was considered a dangerous neighborhood. The seediness of Times Square, especially its adult businesses, was an infamous symbol of New York City's decline and corruption from the 1960s until the early 1990s.
In the 1980s, a commercial building boom began in the West 40s and 50s as part of a long-term development plan conceived under Mayors Ed Koch and David Dinkins. In the mid-1990s, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (1994–2002) led an intense effort to "clean up" the area, increasing security, driving out pornographic theaters, drug dealers and "squeegee men" and opening more tourist-friendly attractions and upscale establishments. Advocates of the remodeling claim that the neighborhood is safer and cleaner. Detractors, on the other hand, argue that the changes have diluted or "Disneyfied" the character of Times Square and have unfairly targeted lower income New Yorkers from nearby neighborhoods such as Hell's Kitchen.

A veces aún parece tener el rostro y la voz de un adolescente. Son las nueve de la mañana y ya está ahí. Las primeras veces que lo vi pensé que no duraría mucho, por algo todos los que habían intentado ganar unos pesos en esa esquina se habían ido. Regresé a las nueve de la noche y seguía ahí. Pasaron varios meses y no solo no se fue, llegaron más.
Yo no entendía qué era lo que lo motivaba a pasar doce horas bajo el sol, a estar ahí todos los días de la semana. Luego noté que suele sonreír, que intenta lavar tantos parabrisas como le es posible y a veces hasta le da un trapazo a todo el auto. En un alto vi que no se bajó de la banqueta a seguir con su trabajo, se quedó en la entrada de un local abandonado con el otro, diciéndole que el sol estaba muy fuerte y que permaneciera en la sombra, que lo esperara un poco más. Con ese otro que corrió hacia él en cuanto le dio la espalda y le dijo “papá”.
Hace tiempo que no los veo y cada vez que paso por ahí me pregunto en dónde están.
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a key figure in Pop Art, an art movement that emerged in America and elsewhere in the 1950s to become prominent over the next two decades.
The Fauves used non-representational color and representational form to convey different sensations. Apply the same idea to the portrait of Marilyn Monroe below, using the controls to adjust the colors. How does the color affect the mood?
Unlike the Fauve colors, the non-representational colors of Pop Art do not depict the artist’s inner sensation of the world. They refer to the popular culture, which also inspires Warhol to experiment with the technique of silkscreen printing, a popular technique used for mass production. In doing so, Warhol moves away from the elitist avant-garde tradition. Initially, many spectators received this new marriage between art and commodity culture with little enthusiasm.
Using photo-stencils in screen-printing, Warhol uses photographic images for his screenprints. The screen is prepared using a photographic process, and then different color inks are printed using a rubber squeegee to press the paint onto the painting through the screen.

Well, I am a couple of weeks late, but here is my contribution to 620 Day. For anybody who does not know what 620 Day is, it is the day of the year (6/20) that one takes pictures on 620 film.
This is the only 620 camera I have - a 1950s Kodak Duaflex IV. I took this picture on my way up to Photostock 2013. This is a very neat lighthouse a few miles north of Rogers City Michigan on the Lake Huron shoreline.
620 film is no longer made, but it is nothing more then 120 film rerolled on to a 620 spool. So I rerolled some Kodak Portra 400 and shot with that. The Porta 400 is great film. It was extremely sunny out this day and I should have been using a 100 speed film, and I was worried that the film would be quite a bit over exposed, but the exposure of this is not too bad considering the conditions and a camera with a single shutter speed. I have heard that this film has great latitude, and it sure looks that way to me.
It appears I have some sort of a "development anomaly" going on with the vertical streaks. I did not develop this one myself because I need a new C41 kit so I took it to a lab. Looks like maybe their development machine rollers were dirty, or they did it by hand and and "finger squeegeed" it?

Times Square, New York, NY
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Square

History
Before and after the American Revolution, the area belonged to John Morin Scott, a general of the New York militia where he served under George Washington. Scott's Manor House was at what is now 43rd Street, surrounded by countryside used for farming and breeding horses. In the first half of the 19th century it became one of the prized possessions of John Jacob Astor, who made a second fortune selling off lots to hotels and other real estate concerns as the city rapidly spread uptown.[2]
In 1904, New York Times publisher Adolph S. Ochs moved the newspaper's operations to a new skyscraper on 42nd Street at Longacre Square. Ochs persuaded Mayor George B. McClellan, Jr. to construct a subway station there, and the area was renamed "Times Square" on April 8, 1904. Just three weeks later, the first electrified advertisement appeared on the side of a bank at the corner of 46th Street and Broadway.[3]
The New York Times, according to Nolan, moved to more spacious offices across Broadway in 1913. The old Times Building was later named the Allied Chemical Building. Now known simply as One Times Square, it is famed for the Times Square Ball drop on its roof every New Year's Eve.
Also in 1913, the Lincoln Highway Association, headed by entrepreneur Carl G. Fisher, chose the intersection of 42nd Street and Broadway, at the southeast corner of Times Square, to be the Eastern Terminus of the Lincoln Highway, the first road across America, which originally spanned 3,389 miles (5,454 km) coast-to-coast through 13 states to its Western Terminus in Lincoln Park in San Francisco, California.[4][5]
As the growth in New York City continued, Times Square quickly became a cultural hub full of theatres, music halls, and upscale hotels.
Times Square quickly became New York's agora, a place to gather to await great tidings and to celebrate them, whether a World Series or a presidential election
—James Traub, The Devil's Playground: A Century of Pleasure and Profit in Times Square
Celebrities such as Irving Berlin, Fred Astaire, and Charlie Chaplin were closely associated with Times Square in the 1910s and 1920s. During this period, the area was nicknamed The Tenderloin[6] because it was supposedly the most desirable location in Manhattan. However, it was during this period that the area was besieged by crime and corruption, in the form of gambling and prostitution; one case that garnered huge attention was the arrest and subsequent execution of police officer Charles Becker.[7]
The general atmosphere changed with the onset of the Great Depression in the 1930s. Times Square acquired a reputation as a dangerous neighbourhood in the following decades. From the 1960s to the early 1990s, the seediness of the area, especially due its go go bars, sex shops, and adult theatres, became an infamous symbol of the city's decline.[8]
In the 1980s, a commercial building boom began in the western parts of the Midtown as part of a long-term development plan developed under Mayor Ed Koch and David Dinkins. In the mid-1990s, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (1994–2002) led an effort to "clean up" the area, increasing security, driving out pornographic theatres, drug dealers and "squeegee men", and opening more tourist-friendly attractions and upscale establishments. Advocates of the remodelling claim that the neighbourhood is safer and cleaner. Detractors, on the other hand, argue that the changes have diluted or "Disneyfied" the character of Times Square and have unfairly targeted lower income New Yorkers from nearby neighbourhoods such as Hell's Kitchen.[citation needed]
In 1990, the state of New York took possession of six of the nine historic theatres on 42nd Street, and the New 42nd Street nonprofit organization was appointed to oversee their restoration and maintenance. The theatres were renovated for Broadway shows, converted for commercial purposes, or demolished.

Thanks so much everyone! This one means a lot to me! I've been trying for quite a while to get Squeegee into Explore. He's my all time favorite pet, and he's been sick most of his life. I live every day with the knowledge that he might not live as long as he should, and it really means a lot to me seeing his pic make Explore!
Seeing the Octopus with his gleaming squeegee lets me know I'm back in my old stomping grounds of Rockford, Illinois.
At the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, the seals of American Trail are ready to splash down and make their big debut ! To help the seals acclimate to their new surroundings, animal care staff added 24,000 pounds of salt to the 125,000 gallon pool last week. Yesterday, three gray seals—Gunther, Kara and Kjya—and two harbor seals—Luke and Squeegee—entered the water together for the first time and explored their new digs. Visitors can view the seals up close and watch training and feeding demonstrations at 11:15 a.m. and 2 p.m. every day. The Zoo’s elderly gray seal, Selkie, is expected to join the other seals in the coming weeks. To follow the latest updates, follow the Zoo on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #PinnipedParty.

Noticed a small moth (shot at 1:1.4 and uploaded at 81% the width of the frame so the moth is larger than life even on a smaller phone) on an upstairs* window. My defense for the state of the window cleanliness is that it's still darn cold out even with spring creeping in and this is a 2nd floor window that takes brushes and squeegees on poles to clean,
Maybe it was the dirt that gave the moth purchase there.

T-Shirt printing is a great deal of things to different people. It is a competitive income supplier to some while to others it is a passive but profitable business. Even to those who are not into venturing to this business, T-Shirt printing might still be useful. It can be a source of a pastime, an expression to those who are innovative and even be practiced for personal use.
T-Shirt printing types
There are two primary categories of T-Shirt printing, and they are the:.
Digital T-shirt printing. The digital T-shirt printing is the more contemporary and often utilized type when printing t-shirts, particularly if processing a bulk order of personalized designs. This is so as the design just have to be printed cut, and heat pressed or transferred to the t-shirt. In fact, it doesn't take a few minutes to finish one. And the result is more than any artist can be proud of. It will be exactly like the one on the computer. That is just since the art was just transferred to a printing paper for it to be transferred to the fiber or the t-shirt. This kind of printing is also meant for hobbyists or those who want to make their own personal printing press in your home.
Materials and equipment: The term digital essentially means the use of digitized devices and equipment like a computer, printer, cutter plotter, and heat press. It is also suggested that an internet connection is offered for more artwork options. For the materials, a digital printing artist should have transfer papers (light for cotton shirts, dri-fit, nylon, satin, and light colors, dark for heavily colored shirts and vinyl), wax papers, and supplies for continuous inks. The inks must be of different kinds to guarantee more kinds of fabric can be processed dye, pigment and sublimation.
The procedure: Digital T-Shirt printing is really the simpler kind of t-shirt printing since the artist or literally the printing person will only transfer an artwork from the computer, which is the precise opposite of the silk screen printing which essentially depend on the innovative artwork and cutting skill of the artist. Out of the ease of digital printing, even a novice can do the printing and embark on it as a business as long as he or she can be able to administer the transfer of artwork from the computer to the transfer paper and finally the fabric.
But for starters, digital printing will begin by printing a selected design from the computer or a photo from the files, or a custom design on a transfer paper. The artwork is now prepared and might be cut manually or with the help of a cutter plotter. Some printing presses leave the entire transfer paper for heat pressing. Although it is not wrong, the result is less commendable since the sides of the transfer paper will be visible on the shirt. The third step and the final, is peeling the top surface of the transfer paper to expose the design on a transparent like sheet then place it over the shirt and press for around 10 or more seconds. Due to the heat that the pressing might apply to the fabric, silk and all other sensitive fabrics are not good for use in digital printing.
screen T-shirt printing. The screen printing is probably the oldest kind of t-shirt printing. It is known to be a tiresome job which is why only the really innovative ones are the people that embark on this business. This kind of t-shirt printing will require real paint one made particularly for fabric printing and real skill in cutting the 'film' that will serve as the guide of the artwork that will be copied on the fabric. This is best for same design artwork since one film is good enough for an entire bulk of t-shirts. Also, it can be utilized across all kinds of fabrics.
Materials and equipment: In silk screen printing, the only materials necessary are the rough draft of the artwork, the film, cutter, a squeegee, different colors of fabric paint, and the silk screen. Most designers and artists produce their own silk screens and squeegee but school supplies always carry these materials and can be bought over the counter. The artwork and design for a silk screen print is made easier when a computer is offered, but it is not required.
Procedure: In silk screen printing, the procedure will start with the artwork. The design might be sketched, done with the assistance of a computer, or copied over the internet. This artwork will essentially serve as a guide to the film, which will be the pattern of the paint. The film is normally in color green and is available in two layers. The thicker and harder part is where the cuttings should be done which the thinner layer will be peeled off later to expose the sticky surface of the film. The number of films necessary in producing a pattern will then depend upon the complexity of the design or artwork. The more colors required in making the pattern the more the number of films to be utilized. These two is supposed to be equal. Assuming that the pattern/s is now prepared, the next step is to peel the thin layer or coat of the film. Doing so will expose a bit sticky surface of the film. To guarantee that it will stick on the silk screen face down, special liquid glue has to be applied on that side of the silk screen. Now before the liquid freeze, the film should be placed on it. As soon as the film gets solid with the silk screen, start the printing of the fabric.
Now that you know the difference and how these two kinds of t-shirt printing work, you can finally select the best for you. Whether digital or silk screen t-shirt printing, though, it is very important to guarantee the quality of the work. That way, you can be proud of the results of your hard work nevertheless difficult or easy the procedures might be.

Another "buggy" gas pump. This was in early October, 2001. There weren't any of these bugs on gas pumps in Newcastle, but in Graham they were loaded. If you wanted to clean your windshield you had to shake them off the squeegee. As you were pumping gas (after shaking off the nozzle) you were walking on a carpet of dead bugs. In some areas the breeze had blown them into small buggy windrows. It was hot and the smell of dead bugs frying on hot pavement was something I didn't miss when I drove back to Newcastle.

There is a seven acre parcel of land at the South-West corner of Cherry Street and Lakeshor Boulevard, at the mouth of the Don River, in Toronto. This parcel was centred around two large complexes of grain elevators. But in the 1970s the leaseholder abandoned the property.
Unknown to its neighbours a community of squatters started to live there. At a certain point adventurous squatters scaled one elevator and painted a 20-30 meter mural of a rooster on the side one elevator.
When Toronto was an applicant for the 2008 Olympics the site was to be part of the Athlete's village. The grain elevators were to be demolished.
It is cool to watch building implode on TV. In this particular case the owners didn't warn the neighbours. The explosions were scheduled for 8am on Sunday mornings.
Advocates for the homeless hosted a dinner, and invited us neighbours to meet our homeless neighbours.
Touring the site was extremely interesting. But i didn't have a camera. Several dozen homeless people were living there -- mainly young -- mainly supporting themselves by squeegeeing commuters car windows on the nearby expressway on-ramps.
Eventually ahundred or more homeless people set up a tent city on the site -- lived there for several years. The site then provided considerable privacy because after decades the site had become overgrown with scrubs and small trees.
One day a combined force of Police, private security guards and construction workers secured the squatters, and bulldozed the vegetation. A surprising amount has grown back in the last half dozen or so years.
Ironically, the developers of the site who kicked out the homeless? Home Depot.

This color photo was one I'd posted a long time ago. As I've been clearing things off my hard drive, I've reposted so I can do some new things to the old pics.
As most of you know, I'm a coloraholic, and love to intensify it most of the time. For some reason, when I looked at this, the only things I wanted to really stand out were Tigger's beautiful features, especially those eyes, and the color seemed to detract from the pic, but all B&W was just too run of the mill. I took all the color out, but reintroduced it by airbrushing in what I wanted. Doing his nose, as well as eyes, created a focal triangle, which really balanced out the shot, I think.
Tigger has been doing okay, but no matter how much he eats, doesn't seem to gain any weight back. Right now, his medical needs have had to take a back seat, as Barrymore, my Siamese mix, has just gone on insulin for diabetes. I've had to cut Squeegee's pain killers back, too, since Barrymore's condition is life threatening, but Squeegee's is a comfort issue. I can't even afford to go to the doctor myself, and I hate these hard choices, but funds are all too limited, and priorities come first. Tigger may have cancer. If so, nothing I do will help much, anyway, and if not, he'll probably come out of this on his own. I'm hopeful, anyway.
This is one of the most soulful, and personable cats you'll ever meet. Tigger used to live in Sugar Mill Gardens, and greeted nearly every single person who came in. When I began to visit him, we bonded, and eventually, I adopted him. Durng the 14 months I was out of work, and the next year and a half that I only worked part time, Susan (Tiger Lair), who had told me about Tigger originally, kept ALL of my cats going by buying food for them, and litter, too, even though she could rarely see them, since she is highly allergic! Now that I'm working full time, I have been buying everything myself most of the time, but now with the new high priced meds on the agenda, things are a bit rough again. The other day, when I seemed so depressed, it was because I didn't hit commission at work, and desperately needed to. With two of my kitties losing weight drastically, they have been on double rations, and I spend way more on them weekly than I do for my own food.
Sometimes it seems that there's never a light at the end of the tunnel, but then I look in those green eyes of Tigger's, and the blue ones of Barrymore, and Squeegee's amber eyes, and realize that the light is all around me if I look for it!

At the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, the seals of American Trail are ready to splash down and make their big debut ! To help the seals acclimate to their new surroundings, animal care staff added 24,000 pounds of salt to the 125,000 gallon pool last week. Yesterday, three gray seals—Gunther, Kara and Kjya—and two harbor seals—Luke and Squeegee—entered the water together for the first time and explored their new digs. Visitors can view the seals up close and watch training and feeding demonstrations at 11:15 a.m. and 2 p.m. every day. The Zoo’s elderly gray seal, Selkie, is expected to join the other seals in the coming weeks. To follow the latest updates, follow the Zoo on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #PinnipedParty.

It's probably hard to tell here, but there are a lot of inconsistencies with the printing. These are 4 attempts. Some are blurry, some don't have enough ink. I'm challenged by the fact that my squeegee is 3" smaller than the width of my screen so I have to make multiple passes. Any advice from seasoned printers?

This boat ended up heading right for a larger vessel that was heading into the inlet as it was heading out. Although I'm sure they cleared by quite some distance, visually from shore it sure didn't look that way!
Today has been an interesting day. It started with my little migraine alert cat, Squeegee, squeaking mercilessly to get my attention about a half an hour before I wanted to get up! I didn't realize what was happening because the pain hadn't settled in yet, and I just told Squeeks to shut up! (Poor baby!) Right before my clock went off, I got out of bed with the headache setting in, and I took my meds and did some pressure point stuff that Doc Hogan told me about that really does help. Squeeks looked on, staring at me the whole time, as if to say, "well, I TRIED to warn you, ya' numbnut!" I went back to bed for about 15 minutes and felt better when I got out the second time.
Last night I thought I was coming down with something. My sinuses were going nuts, but actually, it was probably only a pre-migraine response, because I was fine this morning once it cleared after the ibuprofen kicked in. I should have known. I was ditsy for two days!
At work, I had a sale right off the bat, which was good, as it was a floor model and I needed the space. I had to help lug the thing out to the girl's car, but luckily it wasn't a heavy one. Then the delivery guys showed up with some beds I'd been wanting, and actually took some out to get the new ones in! Yay!
I've been trying to determine which of the beds I wanted to buy, as I really need a new one. Suddenly, there were three new ones I hadn't tried, but only one felt good enough to really consider. I think I still like the Sealy Optimum Elation. It's got a great feel, and won't be too much of a stretch for me to pay for soon. So, (I think) I've finally made a decision. (Yay again!) I'll try a couple more times to make sure, but it's a great bed- cool to the touch, and has less push back than most memory foams do, which feels better to me now. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere!
Maybe with a little better rest, I might feel like getting out for some good shoots once the hurricanes and T-storms stop threatening! Till then, I'm just going to keep editing what I already have. It's starting to get boring, but I've been pleased with some of the pics once I worked on them. Next time, landscape- not portrait. Duh.
Squeegee and Tigger have been the best of friends since Tigger came to live with us. Here Squeegee, on the left, is instigating with Tigger, but it doesn't have the same effect that it does when he goes at Barrymore! More-More sees himself as the dominant one, and views Squeegee beneath him, and Tigger as a threat! Still, they all get along pretty well as long as I show them each enough attention.
I took this shot today during a gloomy day, wanting to get out and try my new Canon 40D, but the weather didn't permit. The kitties had to be my models today!
A spin off from the what's in your bag, all the items that have accumulated in my boot.
Starting top left:
•Next Deck and Grip
•Towel and Squeegee (for drying up skateparks)
•Camera Bags and Filmer-Handle (Get the big bag out if I think I will need more lenses but the little one for just one, normally 50mm)
•Current and Previous Deck (keep the previous just incase I break my board)
•Tin with Spares and Old Wheels
•Spare Brake-Pads (when I got them changed last found out the front left brake was sticking so kept the good old ones just in case)
•Old Shoes (when my Vans died tried out a few different shoes kept a couple in-case I change my mind)
•Helmet (for if I go to a park where they are required or vert)
