Yikes. Now that's a food fight! I only hope the photographer's camera survived, sans stains. Tomato bits seem like they'd be a B to get off a lens. To say nothing of attempting to remove the inevitable, lingering tomato smell! Yuck.

Ah, Tomatina.

There was a nice little piece on Nice in yesterday's Euromaxx, so I thought that's where we should jet off to, today.

The East Coast had its heatwave, and now it's our turn on the West Coast. Everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area has been complaining all summer how exceptionally cold it's been - and we're used to cold summers, but the layers and wool sweaters were getting pretty old - but now that the heat is on, I dare say we miss the fog and otherwise frigid conditions.

What a lovely portrait.

I was inspired to Flickr today for a Fuji Instax image, per an email on the camera and wide-format instant prints that I got today from Photojojo. Hmm. Move over Polaroid. Fuji Instax looks pretty spiffy. But really, what's not to love about the soft and dreamy effects of all instant cameras and film?

While I love me some France, it's far from paradise in many respects. One thing it's definitely not is colorblind. Despite the number of interracial couples and diversity of people one may encounter on a trip to France.

Take Sarkozy's current crackdown on the Roma, or gypsies - repatriating those who cannot prove they can support themselves to Bucharest, Romania. And though they may be sent "back" to Romania, the Romani people hail from much further afield, originally - from the northern region of the Indian subcontinent.

I'm inclined to agree with those who see this latest French policy, among others (e.g., banning the veil for Muslim women), as a move toward official racism. Very disconcerting developments, at best. And though France may send its gypsies away, they will, no doubt, soon be back. As, apparently, no EU nation wants to give them the assistance they so obviously and desperately need. Least of all Romania. And so, what then?

A friend from Ireland sent me a music video today. I'd not heard of Mark Ronson before, but I'm an instant fan! The song was so catchy that I went and downloaded it from Amazon, immediately. Love it.

Happy Sunday! Now go get your international groove on with a little Bang Bang Bang. I insist!
