Charles Phoenix grew up in Ontario, California in a 1950s ranch home during the 1960s and 1970s, and went on countless family outings to the beach, desert, mountains, shopping centers and amusement parks. While collecting classic cars and other mid-century treasures, he stumbled across a collection of old 35mm slides in a thrift shop. It changed his life, and inspired his first vintage slide show performance in 1998.
