Starting in 1918, long before Modernism or the International Style were thought of, the Crittall Manufacturing Co. constructed a small estate of houses for its workers. They were of concrete block, with flat roofs and exposed lintels. Sand for the concrete was excavated on site. I inspected the interior of one of them. The stairs were of concrete (some, I was informed, are of steel), and so was the floor of the upstairs rooms. Downstairs, on the ceiling, could be traced the impression of the wood grain, bitten into the concrete when it was laid down wet on planks. The rooflines, as built, were raised at the corners and at the centre of each semi-detached pair. All, of course, had Crittall metal-framed windows. Today, not one house has its raised roofline and, except for a couple of listed examples, there is not a Crittall window to be seen.
This is the second time in the last week that I've seen something which reminded me of a piece of public art by Tak Bui (see comment photo) that I photographed almost a month ago.
When an artist's vision resonates over and over it's an indication that their work had meaning and impact.
Not strictly a Finsec event, but here's a few photos of the Service and Food Workers' Union Nga Ringa Tota rally in Wellington on International Cleaners Day.
The 'Fair Deal for Cleaners' campaign that this rally is part of aims to provide a voice to the low-waged largely immigrant female workforce, in cities across Australia and New Zealand, who are calling on big property owners to support decency in their workplaces.
Caught this guy working on dismantling Jian Min Cun, a slum between the railway and the elevated highway, right off Zhongtan Lu. When the job is done he and his fresh-faced colleagues with their young wives will go back to Anhui.

Artists Clare Herron and Chris Beck created this artwork in partnership with Groundswell Community Mural Project’s TEMA (Teen Empowerment Mural Apprenticeship) and fifteen youth. The mural uses paint, printed parachute cloth, and mosaics to depict the process of pollination and show its significance on a larger scale in a visual narrative 200 feet in length.

last weekend when patti and cris and i were walking around downtown howell, we found ourselves in a cute little alley way with gorgeous brick and woodwork. we were shooting pics here and there, when this gentleman said "hey, how 'bout a picture of a dirty old construction worker?" aha! this is the second time a stranger has asked me to photograph them. he was great. such a nice guy.
he and a few other guys were working on an amazing restoration project in an old building. he was so generous and let us go inside this buidling and shoot.
i never got his name, and he made a comment like "wait'll they find out i'm really an attorney". thanks mr. stranger guy. :) keep up the awesome work on the building! we'll be back to see the progress.
oh, and yes, i just had to hit this w/ some fake hdr. it was begging for it, don't ya think?
Some random construction worker that was building one of the new casino's in Vegas. He was nice enough to let me and a friend photograph him.

Really enjoyed making this cake. For those of you in Canada when I say I work for RBC you will know I work for a bank. I made this cake for a co-worker who is celebrating 15 years at the bank. The little bowler hatted gentleman is a sugar paste relica of the character who we use in all our advertising, I used the skills I learnt taking a Lorraine McKay class and using her tutorials to make him, I am so happy with how he turned out. He was a big hit when I took him to work today.I made the cake at a Andrea Sweetcakers drippy icing wonky cake class, love the way she teached wonky.
They riged a wire twist tie onto cardboard for booties so they wouldn't track in mud. It was so nice of them.
It's a rare sight. Nowadays, Malaysia's construction work force consists mostly of foreigners. Malaysia government will be bringing in another 40,000 (legally) more foreigners on top of the 3.1 mil (legal and illegal) who are already residing in Malaysia. They were sitting under the shelter because it was raining.
