I ran into our former mayor Sid Espinosa and shot this picture of him doing a video pr segment for Palo Alto Art Center Foundation.
The mayor and I actually discussed via text messages whether this shot is appropriate for Plastic Alto. The mayor said he didn’t mind its use and said he would take my word for it that people would find it more charming than offensive, or just bad.
This was about 33 photos ago, in my constant cellphone>email>blog stream of images and ideas. This a.m. I am compelled to react to the excellent Sedge Thomson show, with Jonathan Richman et al, and offer my own less significant offering to the collective conscious.
For the record, the structure is called “Clear Story” by Mildred Howard and is on loan in front of City Hall. Or as Jonathan would say “I’m so confused…”?!

Jonathan Richman performs at Freight And Salvage Tuesday, a benefit for Wavy Gravy’s Camp Winnarainbow.
