In Living Color: Entrance, Sleepy Sun, Slang Chicken

Back in the summer of 2009, I made the long and unknowingly silent journey out into the Pasadena Hills where the city of Eagle Rock is so elegantly nestled. As I entered what appeared to be a renovated church, I discovered what I was once afraid to find: the self. The sounds that reverberated between the walls of that holy space and into my mind were unlike anything I had ever experienced in my previous life. This story can only be retold through the collection of photographs that isolate precious moments of the evening.

"For me, the actual experience of playing is going somewhere and sending something back out to people from a place that they are not in that I'm in." (Interview with Steven Preston, June 6, 2010)
