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.

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.
