The Morrison Hotel Gallery and photographer NEAL PRESTON announce that all of the profits of print sales at the VIP opening of PRESTONs first-ever West Coast exhibition on Nov. 9 will be donated to The Stevie Nicks Soldier’s Angel Foundation. Also aboard as sponsors of the exhibition at the newly-opened Hollywood gallery are the Corbis Corporation and Eastman Kodak.

The Stevie Nicks Soldiers Angel Foundation, established in 2006, seeks to aid the healing process of wounded U.S servicemen and women returning from overseas duty through the gift of music. Donations are used to purchase iPods, which are then loaded with music and personally given to the wounded recuperating at Walter Reed and Bethesda Hospitals in Washington, DC.

The Corbis Corporation, one of the largest photo agencies in the world, had previously co-sponsored PRESTONs East Coast exhibition at The Morrison Hotel in New York City last May. Corbis and PRESTON have had a strong business relationship dating back to 1996.

Eastman Kodak has printed the catalogue for the exhibition on the KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press. They also printed the catalogue for the exhibition in New York City last May.

Prints of PRESTONs prolific body of work will be showcased at the exhibit, which spans the most significant rock n roll decades. He has photographed such rock royalty as Zeppelin, The Who, Bruce Springsteen , Queen, David Bowie , Fleetwood Mac and many others too numerous to list. PRESTONs work also appeared on countless magazine (Rolling Stone, Time, Newsweek, People, etc.), CD and DVD covers.

That's great how Stevie officially started a foundation out of a simple gesture like handing out iPods. And giving them to wounded vets is a smart way to support the troops without falling on either side of the war issue. Sometimes she's just brilliant.
