From the kitsch to the classic, Charles Phoenix loves to celebrate mid-century design and culture. His massive collection of other people’s old slides from the 40s, 50s & 60s inspire his retro slide shows, Slide of the Week e-mail and coffee table books. His vintage school bus field trips explore extraordinary out-of-the-way attractions, displays and demonstrations.
