    OF POTATO HEADS AND POLAROIDS DELUXE EDITION PRESALE

    $74.99
    Quantity
    DELUXE EDITION

    Book enclosed in a hard fabric-covered slipcase
    Includes a signed photo print from Mike McCready

    Ever since the legendary band Pearl Jam was first created, its lead guitarist, Mike McCready, could always be counted on to have his trusty Polaroid camera at his side. He went on to document years of touring, meeting scores of his heroes, spending time with friends, experiencing art, nature, and architecture. Not one to take things too seriously, Mike often brought along his pal, Mr. Potato Head and would ask celebrities, friends, and strangers alike to take a Polaroid photo with him. Needless to say, Mike got endless strange looks and creative poses in response.

    From the hills of Hollywood to our Nation’s capital, and from the capitals of Europe to the Pacific Rim islands, Mike has traveled the world many times over photographing one inspiring moment and experience at a time, adding visual piece by piece to the vast tapestry of his life’s interests and passions.

    With intimate images of not only his Pearl Jam bandmates behind the scenes at venues, jamming together in someone’s living room, or taking it easy at the beach, Mike also captures an eclectic mix of athletes, musicians, and celebrities including an elated Venus Williams, a goofy Jimmy Fallon, and a menacing Henry Rollins among many other stars. Mike also trained his lens from the stage at countless Pearl Jam concerts and photographed legions of adoring and jubilant fans.

    Of Potato Heads and Polaroids makes Mike’s life a little more fun and real in an increasingly digital world. He thinks it’ll do the same for you.

    So, 25% of this goes to Planned Parenthood? Hope so. It would be the case for sales thru 3/12 based on the description that went up yesterday as part of the notice for the limited International Women's Day t-shirt.

    Looking forward to seeing Mike's work!!
