About this title

Synopsis:

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 and would go on to document years of touring. 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. 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.

Review:

"One shot at a time, McCready has captured everything from Pearl Jam's increasingly bigger crowds to his ever-changing hair color and growing family... But the photos also allowed a certain intimacy... and are artful, like the silhouette of McCready raising the 12th Man flag atop the Space Needle. The Duomo di Milano and Stonehenge. There's a double-shot of McCready's daughter, Kaia, that could be hung in a museum." -The Seattle Times
