More Zaz

The bureau had not checked in on the career of Zaz for quite some time, but recently we followed a link from a French food blog and discovered that in 2014, she released an album of songs about Paris that was executive produced by Quincy Jones. The performances and the songs are great and there are videos of several of them on You Tube. Enjoy!

October 2016

Yes, I've been AWOL but I'm back. Maybe it was a case of Election Seasonal Disorder. We'll start with a cheerful fire plug at Crissy Field.

This is Osha, a good Thai restaurant on Valencia St. with an interesting decor choice.

Stop!

The Venus de Milo of Mission St. I find the steel arm socket oddly disturbing.

Fetish object on Mission St. I think the chain is both a fetish ajunct and an anti-theft device.

This is from a beautiful show by the Swedish artist Cecilia Edefalk that was recently at The Berkeley Art Museum (BAMPFA).

iPhone Photography

Madame Le Chef and I finally joined the 21st Century and got iPhones. One advantage of having waited so long is that the phones have pretty good cameras. There's no optical zoom and the digital "zoom" is an abomination but otherwise it takes decent pictures and it's usually with you. Here's a selection of recent snaps.

Crab.

Roosevelt tamales, sadly closed.
