SIMS Foundation provides mental health and substance use recovery services for musicians, music industry professionals, and their families to support the well-being of the Austin music community.

Rather than a typical band line up, I prefer to photograph the artistic process as it unfolds. While the band rehearsed their latest album, I worked at a conversational distance bringing the viewer into that sacred energy of creation.
