This was a shoot with Xaina in 29 Palms, California. I've given this set of images its name because Xaina is from Detroit, and because Slab City is the most "beat" place in this very beat of places. (Well, I can't deny Detroit its own share of beatitude.)
A place described by an old Airstream, faded broken trucks, and a far-away look in the eye; by the Bagdad Cafe or a Sam Shepard play; by Gram Parsons' departure.
